    Hello Support,

    Some strings are not being translated. I’ve:

    1) in poEdit I updated from the po file located at plugins/pluginName/pluginName-Languages
    2) I’ve renewed license to update everything and redo 1) (this fixed some strings but not all)

    The strings appear in the po file, they just don’t translate -or- partially translate (translate for a while for some weird reason).

    At them moment I only see problems with geodirectory core and location-manager

    Please see attachment, in this case “Everywhere” was translated and then got back to “Everywhere”
    I’ll post access credentials on pm

    Hope you can help me

    Forgot to mention everytime I’m making sure to upload the updated mo file. In PoEdit I usually save the file and the click File/Compile to Mo

    1) in poEdit I updated from the po file located at plugins/pluginName/pluginName-Languages

    Files PO and MO should be in
    wp-content/languages/plugins/geodirectory-us_EN.po/mo(example)
    wp-content/languages/themes/…po/mo

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/translation/overview/

    Move all files you are using into that location. Incomplete translation means WP is getting mixed signals with files in improper locations.

    Hello Alex, thank you for the reply.

    My translations are loaded in the proper folders:

    Example:
    wp-content/languages/plugins/geodirectory-es_ES.po/mo
    wp-content/languages/themes/…po/mo

    It’s just some strings that won’t translate or are grabbing an old translation that was made.

    To make sure I have the latest translation file I’ve updated es_ES.po from the en_US.po found in plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-languages (Catalog/Update from POT file) in my computer and the uploaded the es_ES.po/mo to wp-content/languages/plugins/geodirectory-es_ES.po/mo, as per instructions found in https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/translation/overview/

    Attached a screenshot of a string that wont translate.

    Wordpress getting mixed signals sounds like a cause, but not sure how to debug this. At some moment I installed loco translate plugin, but deleted it, it’s the only thing I can think of :S (installed to see if it could fix my problem)

    1) shows a gd core string saying “Cerca: Yo” (this means Near: I), I try to change it but not working

    Cerca: Yo is already translated, so the issue is how to update it, yes?
    That string is present in several PO files. It looks like you are using Supreme, so check for that string in that PO file.

    2) shows gd core string TIME that doesn’t translate

    That looks like a custom field? See: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translating-custom-fields/

    Other strings?

    Hi Alex, thank you for the effort.

    1) string not present in Supreme… “Cerca: Yo” are actually 2 separate strings “Near:” and “Me”
    2) Time is a default field, but yes, I can change that text right from Custom Fields Tabs!

    Please take a look at the screenshots, they show “Everywhere” string gets translated at the beginning as “En todos”, then, when selecting another location category, it goes back to “Everywhere”.

    1. Check in the Advanced Search Addon also, then.
    2. Great!
    3. Everywhere is in the core plugin.

    Do you still have Loco or another string translation plugin installed? It sounds like you either A) have a cache issue and need to turn off/reset/delete site cache OR you have another translation plugin loading older translations.

    You can also check to make sure that all your translation files are up to date by merging with the latest EN translations that come with the plugins in the languages folder.

    Thank you Alex,
    1) thanks, it was there!
    3) its also translated there, still not working…

    I’ve cleared cache and cookies, also checked DB and there’s nothing related to loco or other translation plugin.

    I think the problems relies in the GD LOCATION SWITCHER…also the “Select” string has this problem. I think it’s about the strings that gets reloaded when you click on Country, Region, or City…

    3. Then the Location Manager is the next one, it has ‘everywhere’ for the location switcher.

    Other strings?

    Hi Alex, yes it’s translated in location manager too…as I said, the string translates and after switching locations (clicking Country or Region or City) it looses the translation. Also “Select”.

    On the other hand, can you confirm if the above info is about one of your team was connecting to my site’s ftp? It says Manchester.

    Thank you

    None of our team is in Manchester.

    When I use the location switcher several times in a row it does not switch back to ‘Everywhere’.

    Try clearing your cache.
