Rofl, you must be getting tired of me asking for help then figuring out what the problem was. Well, just in case anyone else in the future runs into the issue; the reason why I was having the problem not having the text change over was because my directory path was missing the sub-folder “geodirectory” after language. I went ahead and created the subfolder at /wp-content/languages/geodirectory/, uploaded the .mo file and bam; it works.
Glad I fixed it! 🙂
