   Hi,

   Some pieces of text (for example: the contact form send button, send us mail title, the breadcrumbs, the search field) aren't wrapped in Gettext call, therefore they can't be translated with WPML.
   Screenshot: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8083/8262000771_03867f91a0_b.jpg
   WPML documentation about Gettext: http://wpml.org/faq/language-setup

   1) How can i add <?php _e('text','theme-text-domain'); ?> to contact-form.php for 'Send us mail' and 'Send':

   $form_args = array(
   
   		"heading" => "<h3>".__('Send us mail','avia_framework')."</h3>",
   		"success" => "<h3>".__('Your message has been sent!','avia_framework')."</h3><p>".__('Thank you!','avia_framework')."</p>",
   		"submit"  => __('Send','avia_framework'),
   		"action"  => get_permalink(),
   		"myemail" => avia_get_option('email'),
   		"myblogname" => get_option('blogname'),
   		"autoresponder" => avia_get_option('autoresponder'),
   		"autoresponder_subject" => __('Thank you for your Message!','avia_framework'),
   		"autoresponder_email" => avia_get_option('email')
   	);

   2) How can i add <?php _e('text','theme-text-domain'); ?> to searchform.php for 'Search site':

   <form action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" id="searchform" method="get">
   	<div>
   		<input type="submit" value="" id="searchsubmit" class="button"/>
   		<input type="text" id="s" name="s" value="<?php _e('search site','avia_framework')?>"/>
   		<?php do_action('avia_frontend_search_form'); ?>
   	</div>
   </form>

   3) How can I also do this with the breadcrumbs? Where are they located?

   Hi,
   1 + 2) These text strings are already in a __ or _e function and fully translatable with po/mo files. Eg compare the searchform code:

   <?php _e('search site','avia_framework')?>

   "search site" = text

   and:

   "avia_framework" = theme text domain. Maybe try to translate the po/mo files with Poedit: http://www.poedit.net/download.php

   3) The breadcrumb text is also translatable with po/mo files. The breadcrumb links use the page/post, etc. title and are not translatable - however you can change the page titles if you like. The code can be found in choices\framework\php\class-breadcrumb.php

   Hi,

   I just set up the theme to test it out amd I am getting translations just fine. Have you instlled the String Translation plugin that comes with WPML? Please take a look http://i.imgur.com/SWMcg.png After you scan your theme, all those strings will be converted automatically.

   Thanks,

   Nick
