    Hi, I need to translate a couple of strings in the add-listing page (as swown in the attachment img). So far I’ve tried editing the following .po files: wp-content/languages/themes/it_IT.po – plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-languages/geodirectory-it_IT.po – themes/mychildtheme/geodirectory/geodirectory-languages/geodirectory-it_IT.po
    I also tried to edit Language.php template in mychild but nothing works.
    Any clue? Thank you.

    Ok, I’ve managed to change the address description from the custom post settings but not the placeholder.

    Hi Marina,

    if you have the Google Maps autocompleter enabled, that placeholder is added by Google and can’t be modified. (maybe with jquery, but I’m not 100% sure)

    Otherwise you should find that in :

    plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-languages/geodirectory-en_US.po

    You should open that file with Poedit, translate the placeholder, save the file as :
    geodirectory-it_IT.po

    That will create the file geodirectory-it_IT.mo (in the same folder where you saved the po file), which needs to be uploaded in wp-content/languages/geodirectory/geodirectory-it_IT.mo.

    Only the mo file as the po files are only to be used to create the translation and the mo file.

    More info here: http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/translate-core/

    Let me know how it goes,

    Thanks

    Thanks Paolo for the explanation. Actually the Google autocompleter was disable but still there was no track of that specific string in any en_US.po or it_IT.po files. So, since one of the possible options I could think of was just to eliminate that particular placeholder rather than editing the text, I managed to achieve it with CSS with this code.

    

    #geodir_post_address_row input::-webkit-input-placeholder {
   color: transparent!important;
}

#geodir_post_address_row input:-moz-placeholder { /* Firefox 18- */
   color: transparent!important;  
}

#geodir_post_address_row input::-moz-placeholder {  /* Firefox 19+ */
   color: transparent!important;  
}

#geodir_post_address_row input:-ms-input-placeholder {  
   color: transparent!important; 
}

    Hi,
    

    you couldn’t find it because you are looking in the wrong po file maybe? It should be geodirectory-en-US.po
    

    In any case if the CSS does the trick, I’m going to close this topic.
    

    Let us know,
    

    Thanks
