 * I tried for days to translate the search widget items “location” and “property
   types” and other searchfields like “commercial” etc. to dutch. The site is in
   english and dutch. I could not find those words in the pot-file. What am I missing?
   I read all support questions but it didn’t clear things up for me. Would be most
   grateful if someone could show me the way to do this.
    Many thanks in advance.

 * Those strings are not translatable in the current version. It’s been added to
   our todo list for the next version.
 * However, you don’t have to use the default taxonomies, and you can define your
   own using the Register Taxonomies menu item.

 * Yes, I know I can define my own, but than again I can only add a new string in
   one language and not in two languages. But thank you for your answer. I know 
   I have to learn a lot more about WordPress and translations and this particular
   plugin is probably too complicated for me right now, although it is exactly what
   we need for the website. For now I will try something else.
