Howdy all,
These are translatable strings. I just tested it out in a variety of languages, including ‘Espanol’, and the countdown widget translated properly for each. However, it is possible that the specific translation you are using does not have translations for t hose strings, and thus needs someone to translate it. If you are interested in updating the translation to include those, please checkout this guide.
Does that make sense? Since three of you are reporting this I am concerned that for some reason those strings are not translating for you guys. If so, are you all using the PRO plugin, and have you update the translation file recently?
Cheers!
