I spent a long time to find how to translate CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT visible on my Joomla frontpage Solidress reservation module installed with QuickStart.
Actually it is not the component or module language that you have to fix but the file has to be created into Joomla root/language/
Taht's because it seems the Quickstart Install doesn't upload translation for your template language.
So download "en-GB.tpl_gk_hotel.ini" a file you can find into Joomla root/language/en-GB/
Change the translation (near line 635)
TPL_GK_LANG_SR_SEARCH_CHECKIN_DATE="Check-in"
TPL_GK_LANG_SR_SEARCH_CHECKOUT_DATE="Check-out"
according to your language
save the file as "your-language-code" (for example : fr-FR.tpl_gk_hotel.ini)
and upload this file into Joomla root/language/fr-FR/ (change the folder according to your language)
Hope it will help
