have wordpress preferences set to english language the plugin somehow recognise
my location (maybe the google API) and it save the address fields in spanish

change it?

* this is a browser setting. The Google js script adapts to your browser language.
Change your browser to english and it should display in english.
* I am not aware of any way to change the browser locale using javascript.

* so if you are reffering to addresses, they also appear as per their original
name for me, so that’s a google maps default I am afraid.

* I have been trying to change the placeholder text for a while, but I have no
idea of coding…
I managed to change the placeholder style by additional css,
but the text I haven´t found the way…

* Hi!
Thank you for the response. I have read the examples and have tried to replicate
in my contact form, with no luck.. I don´t know wich word I have to change “#
yourtextboxid” for, in this example:
* $(“#yourtextboxid”).attr(“placeholder”, “variable”);
* I can see in the html code of the web that it is related to:
* But I have no idea of coding… Sorry to bother you, I understand if you can´t
look at it.. I am asking to much…

* well its a matter of principle. I code plugins for free, but I charge for solutions.
So I generally refrain from giving actual solutions.
* > I don´t know wich word I have to change “#yourtextboxid” for, in this example:
* you need to [learn to code](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6NZfCO5SIk). inspect,
and [debug a javascript using your browser console tool](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/javascript).
* Anyhow, the short answer is `$('#search-')` where you replace `` with your actual field name.
