The searchform-text gets not translated even when the expression “Search” is translated in a translation file.
Why?
In widget.php you note the following text with some irony: ”
* Ephemera Widget shamelessly stolen from Duster Theme
* http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/duster”
but it seems to me that you “stole” more, see in the searchform.php
There you refer to the translation of the “duster” theme, not to “minimatica”, that’s why the minimatica-translation file shows no effect.
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="”>
<input type="text" class="field" name="s" id="s" placeholder="” />
<input type="submit" class="submit" name="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="” />
#
should be:
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="”>
<input type="text" class="field" name="s" id="s" placeholder="” />
<input type="submit" class="submit" name="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="” />
please correct that.
