    Yes, Spanish is fine as I just need to know where you want to translate so I can check in the code and provide the solution.

    It’s already translated I think. Do you want to change it to say something else?

    It is already translated by itself, getting that from GeoDirectory as my first post said, that is the problem.

    I need to add my own translation for those 2 strings. Right now the plugin decides what to put there, as there are no option to translate those in the PO files.

    Thanks.

    As it is coming from the GD plugin then it will take the translation from GD obviously. If you want to change it then you can use filters we have provided but that will be a part of customization.

    The problem when you translate something to another language, is that it changes completely. So having 1 word for everything and believe is correct, when it is not.

    “Places” + “Categories”, you create a phrase with two separate words instead of one that is translatable in the PO files.

    When you try to translate that (with the only option of separate words) you end up with this:

    “Categories” + “Places for” in another language.

    “Places Categories” makes sense. “Categories Places for” makes sense for you?

    So, I have no idea who will understand that, because it makes no sense at all.

    That way you use “Places” for everything and then it is imposible to work with, you end up with a site with:

    “Categories” + “Places for”
    “Tags” + “Places for”
    Add: “Places”
    Edit: “Places”
    See: “Places”

    And so on, everything with a single string and that breaks completely the usability for all your plugins.

    So, as GeoDirectory as well use “Places” for everything.

    I will not be able to add my translations, is that correct?

    Or what are the filters for those 2?

    Thanks.

    Patrik was able to provide a filter for UWP titles.

    For support with translation of GeoDirectory you will need to make a post to the GD forum:

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/

    Thank you
