# Widget labels in English on WPML sites

On a multilingual WPML site, your search and booking widget labels can appear in English instead of the site language. Check two separate things.

**Text domains not scanned.** In WPML String Translation, enable **Theme and plugin localization** scanning for the text domains **homelocal** and **homerunner-toolkit**. Most widget labels are translatable once those domains are scanned and translated.

**Labels revert after interaction.** If labels look translated on page load but revert to English after clicking or typing in the search widget, that is a known issue in the search widget itself. There is currently no workaround for this specific behavior.
