 * I try to translate the frontend labels with wpml string translation like the 
   documentation sais, but with no effect. The labels in admin area are changing
   but not in frontend templates.

 * i also created the .po and .mo files but doesnt work either.
 * i cleared the transient cache with no effect.
 * What else can i do or ist translation broken?
 * using versions:
    wordpress 4.3.1 wpml 3.3.3 string translation 2.3.4 wp store
   locator 2.0.4 php 5.5.29

 * ok, fixed it by changing this:
 * `esc_attr( $wpsl->i18n->get_translation( 'search_btn_label', __( 'Search', 'wpsl')))`
 * into this:
 *  `__( 'Search', 'wpsl-eilles' )`
 * in the template file
