# Search Bar Pro labels in English with WPML

Some Search Bar Pro labels can still appear in English on a site translated with WPML.

**Why this happens.** These labels are translatable strings in the toolkit's "homerunner-toolkit" text domain. They show in English only because no translation has been entered for them yet.

**How to translate them.**

1. Make sure the toolkit is up to date. Older builds redrew some labels in English after interaction, regardless of translation.
2. In WPML, go to **WPML > Theme and plugins localization** and make sure the "homerunner-toolkit" and "homelocal" text domains are scanned.
3. Open **WPML String Translation**, filter by the "homerunner-toolkit" domain, and enter translations for the remaining strings. Search for "guests", "Loading", "No results", "Any", "Increase", "Decrease", and "Clear".

The widget picks up the translations on the next page load. No plugin change is needed.
