Hello Jason,
Maybe it’s a silly question, but is it possible to translate “Search the site…” or the bubble “Search” on Denali theme ?
In fact I need to translate many sentences in “locals.php” but my website not working when I upload the file after translate it… Sorry I’m not php master ahah. And I found nothing on the backoffice to translate it.
How can I do to translate “Search the site…” in first ?
Thank you

Hello,
If you were going to do this through code customization from your child theme, you’d utilize the filter “themeblvd_frontend_locals” from your child theme’s functions.php. That filter is applied to the array of text strings you see in locals.php, which should account for just about all frontend text strings the theme outputs.
Here’s more info on this:

You can also use this plugin instead of doing any code customization:
Sure, why not? That would just be standard WordPress localization. You’d upload your new, translated files to the “lang” directory of the theme. But if you’re just wanting to translate some text strings on the frontend you might want to check out our string swap plugin as mentioned previously.
The theme is localization ready and WordPress localization will work if done properly. Maybe this will be helpful: http://support.themeblvd.com/forums/topic/language-files/#post-23356
