 * SimpleMap is a really great “store locator” plugin. i love it. just one thing:
   although the language files for german are placed correctly, not all phrases 
   and terms are translated. Especially the search box text in the front end is 
   not translated “Please enter an address or search term in the box above” (while
   the german text is available in the language file). I already disabled all plugins,
   but that doesn’t solve the problem.
 * Any hints?

 * Thanks for this update,
    I’ve recently taken over development of the plugin and
   it is under massive refactoring right now. I’ll have a look at this to see what
   the problem is. Thank you.

 * Glenn,
 * I am wondering if there is any way some of us users could become more involved
   in the development on this plugin, as a way to say thanks to you for continuing
   development and to better keep track of changes, bugs and the like.
 * I know there is the tenderapp page, but this isn’t a well organized list and 
   sometimes I feel like people just report similar problems, request similar features
   and the like.
 * Sorry if this sounds like a complaint or a rant, I am not a skilled PHP developer
   myself but most problems I have encountered with the plugin or basic features
   I have wanted I have gone ahead and tweaked on my own.
 * I was going to just post another bug I found here (while Google regional domain
   is selectable, modifying this does not change the linguistic function used by
   Google Maps to indicate looking up directions, so in other languages besides 
   English instead of using the operator ‘A “to” B’ to get directions from the inputted
   address, it simply looks up ‘A to B’ as a location) but I figured maybe there
   could be a better way to organize the process of bug reporting and feature requesting.
 * Let me know what you think, and if there is any way myself and others could help.

 * Hi Vistula,
    That’s a great idea. I’m almost finished with a major update. I 
   may look to doing something like that after I’m finished. Just posted an update
