 * Hi,
 * I would try to translate the search box placeholder, but even if I overwrite 
   it in the po file, the translation will not appear.
    What could be the problem?
 * Thanks in advance!

    What is the exact text
   you were translating?
 * I have all the codes set for translation so I’m wondering if I’m missing something
   somewhere else.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for the quick reply! I want to translate the “Search the knowledgebase…”
   text and the page title (Knowledge base) with loco translate. But even though
   I translate the text, it doesn’t appear here on the page (I’m talking about the
   archive page)…
 * What makes this possible? All other translations show up as you should …
 * Thanks!

 * Is it just this term that has an issue or everything else? One option would be
   to directly use the .pot file to create the language of your choice.
 * [https://github.com/WebberZone/knowledgebase/tree/master/languages](https://github.com/WebberZone/knowledgebase/tree/master/languages)
 * Then you can save the file in /wp-content/languages/plugins with the correct 
   language code e.g. en_US You might already have some other translated files in
   there
