    Hi, in order to customise certain phrases and strings we are following your suggestion of using a custom translation file – however the new translations / strings are not showing on the live site.

    What we did:

    – set the site language to British English
    – translated the Geodirectory language file with a geodirectory-en_GB.po file
    – copy+pasted all the strings from the US English, default po files other than the 3 strings we would like to change which are:

    “Enter Listing Details” -> “Enter Your Details”
    “Listing Title” -> “Therapist Name”
    “Listing Description” “Therapist Description <br/> <i>’Please state a small description of yourself and what you are offering, inclding pricing and any offers.'</i>”

    We checked with the Loco Translate translation plugin and our geodirectory-en_GB.po and mo files are recognised by WordPress as 100% translated and good. But the strings we want changed are still not changed. Could you check and offer some help or provide another way to change these strings, thanks?

    Where are the MO files?
    We would need FTP to check that, and the file should be at
    /wp-content/languages/geodirectory/geodirectory-en_GB.mo

    Hello, have you placed the .po file in the proper path /wp-content/languages/geodirectory/ ?

    edit: cross-post with Guust 🙂
