Hi,

I really want to translate “Search here…” as that is the placeholder in the search input. However, it seems that I should hardcode it in the plugin files?

Really a shame for such a great plugin i think.

Can you shed some light on this issue?

Kind regards!

Ah, I saw the documentation by now: https://wpdreams.gitbooks.io/ajax-search-pro-documentation/content/translating_components/translating_with_polylang.html

However I am using Loco Translate plugin.

Hi,

It is fortunately not hard-coded, it can be changed really easily on the back-end under the Layout Options -> Search box layout panel: https://i.imgur.com/1auPO3O.png

If you are using a multi-language environment then using WPML String translations or Polylang it can be translated as a dynamic text as well. The string name to look for is ‘Search bar placeholder text’: https://i.imgur.com/6oBeetH.png

Let me check if there is any way to register strings for translation with the ‘Loco translate’ plugin as well.

Ah great! Never saw that, and I am sure I clicked all those tabs…

You can close the issue!
