    Hi,
    in the search form, the placeholder text is not translated into the language of the theme . In my case : Italian. In the Search widget the text is: Search… and I would like: Cerca…
    I looked in the file “searchform.php” this code:

    <label class=”screen-reader-text” for=”s”><?php _e( ‘Search for:’, ‘sparkling’ ); ?></label>
    <input type=”text” class=”form-control search-query” placeholder=”<?php echo esc_attr_x( ‘Search for’, ‘placeholder’, ‘sparkling’ ); ?>” value=”<?php echo get_search_query(); ?>” name=”s” title=”<?php echo esc_attr_x( ‘Search for:’, ‘label’, ‘sparkling’ ); ?>” />

    How can I personalize it?
    Thanks
    Oscar

    Hi Movin,
    don’t work.
    This is the code in it_IT.po file:
    #: ../search.php:16
    #, php-format
    msgid “Search Results for: %s”
    msgstr “Risultato della ricerca per: %s”

    #: ../searchform.php:11
    msgid “Search for:”
    msgstr “Cerca…”

    #: ../searchform.php:12
    msgctxt “placeholder”
    msgid “Search…”
    msgstr “Cerca”

    #: ../searchform.php:12
    msgctxt “label”
    msgid “Search for:”
    msgstr “Cerca…”

    #: ../searchform.php:14
    msgctxt “submit button”
    msgid “Search”
    msgstr “Cerca”

    but placeholder is not translated

    Hi Movin,
    I have downloaded Poedit (https://poedit.net/download) and I have correct the italian translation and compiled .mo file. Now the translation is correct.
