Events Manager – Translations for Search Form Strings Not Displaying on Front-End

Overview of the Issue

When using the Events Manager plugin, some strings for the search form (e.g., “Search,” “Near…,” “Dates”) appear untranslated on the front-end, even though translations exist in WPML String Translation.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.

• Go to WPML → Settings → Custom XML Configuration page.
• Add the following XML:

  <wpml-config>
  	<admin-texts>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_text_label"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_text_label_advanced"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_submit"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_geo_label"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_dates_label"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_dates_label_advanced"/>    
      <key name="dbem_search_form_countries_label"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_advanced_show"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_category_label"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_categories_label"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_tags_label"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_tag_label"/>
      <key name="dbem_search_form_tags_placeholder"/>
      </admin-texts>
  </wpml-config>

• Return to WPML → String Translation page and translate your strings.
