Problem:
The client is using the WP Go Maps plugin and is unable to find the category strings for translating country names using WPML. Despite rescanning the plugin and following existing threads, the issue persisted.
Solution:
We discovered that the WP Go Maps plugin does not natively support the translation of marker categories. However, a workaround is available:
1. Edit the plugin file at

wp-google-maps-pro\includes\category-filter-widgets\class.dropdown.php

.
2. In the build method, replace

$option->import($node->category_name);

with

$option->import(__($node->category_name, "wp-google-maps"));

.
3. Enable WPML’s “Look for strings while pages are rendered” setting found in the “Auto register strings for translation” block (WPML -> String Translations).
After these steps, you should be able to search for your category name in WPML and add the respective translations. For more details, visit WP Go Maps forum.
