translating search strings

You do not seem to want a multi-lingual site, but only a German site?
Then the simplest would be just to use GD > Settings > Titles and Meta > Search page > Title.

I’ll get Kiran to have a closer look for your other questions.

Thanks

There is no need to use WPML unless you want to build a site in more than one language.
See https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translate-core/ and https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translating-addons/

Hello Martin,

Please provide FTP credentials as well so we can do some debugging.

Hello Martin,

1. I was able to change the translation for the breadcrumb title. But it contains a colon, which I cannot get rid of. „Suchergebnisse für: ,in der…“ The colon before the „in“ should not be displayed.

When search submitted without keyword it shows blank searched query part. you can use (“) double quote to customize this.
You can do it by one of following:
– Wrap %%search_term%% by double quote “(ex: “%%search_term%%”) from GeoDirectory > Settings > General > Title & Meta.
– Wrap %%search_term%% by double quote “(ex: “%%search_term%%”) from WPML translation for those title/meta strings.
After doing one of above, when blank keyword searched it will show like Suchergebnisse für: “”,in der…

2. How can I hide the „Page 0“ in the breadcrumb?

I think that part coming from Kleo theme. Do you have any customization for GeoDirectory or for breadcrumbs?

3. The browser title is a mixture of two languages, and even if I did a translation of the string in WPML, the translation does not show up. What is also odd is the fact that WPML collects and displays all the search terms which I have entered while testing and displays them as translatable strings.

If you want to load your site in multilingual then leave blank all strings from “GeoDirectory > Settings > General > Title & Meta” and translate those strings from WPML > String Translation.
If you want to load your site in single language then use direct translated string at “GeoDirectory > Settings > General > Title & Meta”.
Follow any one of this and let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Kiran

Hello,

1. Do one thing save blank values for all title/meta under GeoDirectory > Settings > General > Title & Meta. Translate it via WPML String Translation. Ex: Translate

%%pt_plural%% search results for %%search_term%%, Near %%search_near%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%

to

%%pt_plural%% Suchergebnisse für: %%search_term%%, in der Nähe von %%search_near%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%

2. Let us know what you got from KLEO developers. In GeoDirectory v1 we had our own breadcrumbs, but now in v2 we are using WordPress global breadcrumb if theme or any 3rd party plugin provides.

Let us know.
