    Hi,

    I recommend using Loco Translate to translate this text to your language. It's very easy to use, for more information, please follow this article https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-translate-a-wordpress-plugin-in-your-language/.

    You can just create a new language, Loco Translate helps you to create the PO file with translatable texts. See my short screen record https://www.loom.com/share/2de51714a6ef431fac6d0c1651cc9af4.

    Hi.
    Thanks for your help.

    I thougt that there was a default po file in the plugin directory. I think there was at previous versions of metabox.

    So i followed the instructions you have send. And i translated some strings.

    But i cant translate “select an item” text . I translated it with loco but there is no change..

    May be it can be my problem. But if you try to translate “select an item” text and if you see no change like me, there acn be bug with that. If you can translate it there is a problem with me.

    So i will be happy if you test it

    Thanks again for your support.

    Hi,

    Please update the newest version of the MB Builder plugin v3.3.4 or MB AIO plugin v1.11.16. We've removed the placeholder text of the field select and you can translate the placeholder text of the field select_advanced with the Builder.

    You can add the placeholder for the field select by coding and following this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/fields/select/#settings.
