    Hello, I try to translace GD in French, and think I met a Bug in the admin :

    First, WP-Admin menu, I had to use a pluggin to translate the text “Places” in “Praticiens”
    Adding a new place, I can’t translate neither “Places” nor the button “Add new”
    Admin bug ?

    Best Regards,
    Guillaume

    Hello,

    Translating is described on this page. https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/translation/overview/

    To change Place Title and Place Description on the Add Listing page, you need to use the language file and look for %s Title and %s Description.
    %s refers to the singular name of the custom post type, which you can set using the Custom Post Types addon, or by translating Place and Places in the language file.
    For example to change Place Title to Business Name, you would translate %s Title to %s Name, and change Place to Business.

    Hello,

    I had to use a pluggin to translate the text “Places” in “Praticiens”

    Instead, please use the PoEdit translation method described here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/translation/overview/

    Some plugins for translation can cause more problems, see if your plugin is listed here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/known-issues/

    Adding a new place, I can’t translate neither “Places” nor the button “Add new”

    You will need to translate with both the translation files and the settings found in the plugin, as to change Place Title and Place Description on the Add Listing page, you need to use the language file and look for %s Title and %s Description.

    First, Thanks for your time 🙂

    I used “Admin Menu Editor”, but disabled, my menus come back in English and I’m still stuck with the geoeditor Admin pages first word and buttons 🙁

    I used POEdit, everything I translated is ok, but not for these first words and buttons in admin pages.
    Here is my language file :

    Thanks a lot

    Please share the site URL and WP Admin credentials so we can take a look at the settings.

    Hello,

    It looks like you have already translated the correct strings in the file, but, the file is very incomplete.

    You may find more translated strings here: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/fr/default/wp-plugins/geodirectory

    Follow the directions on this page to place the file at:

    /wp-content/languages/plugins/geodirectory-xx_XX.mo
    /wp-content/languages/plugins/geodirectory-xx_XX.po

    If you send us FTP information we can check the location of the files. You should only have one copy of the files, and in only the location above.

    I’m sure of my language localization since When I change a word and upload, it’s ok
    Already tried also with another po+mo traduction for French, more complete but % Title and % Description are aloso translated and ignored.

    I wanted to verify in the source admin file directly but I can’t find where it’s located.

    Source files are available here:
    https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/geodirectory

    Or in the languages folder within the plugin for the default English.

    To update files to the latest version, and therefore use new strings: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/translation/overview/#updating

    Still Nothing,
    I can publish the translation exported from
    https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/geodirectory/stable/fr/default

    Or update from the original english .po
    And also create a new file from my geodirectory-en_US.po, translated and saved as geodirectory-fr_FR
    Everything changes as expected, but not these menus and button names 🙁

    Can I for the moment have a look at the admin php file and force these 2 strings ? (and do this for it every update)
    Which one ?

    Hello,

    The code is open source, so you can download from WP.org and take a look, certainly.

    We cannot say more about how to do this because it is all written, the complete instructions for translation, are outlined in this document:

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

    If you need someone to do this for you, you can hire an expert here:
