If you need to change default language in the component e.g. "No results found. Please widen your search area or choose a different zip code.". You can update the language file provided using your FTP client.
Locator stores all language strings in the Joomla language file. These files are stored by Joomla according to the language. For English, see
languages/en-GB/en-GB.com_locator.ini
The TAGs field is so-often renamed that we created a menu item configuration option to change it's value here:

You can also update the language settings in
languages/en-GB/en-GB.com_locator.ini
Change en-GB to whatever language you're using.
The address templates are set on a per-menu item basis and allow for the control of the formatting of each directory entry and map-marker popup window.
The default format is as follows:
{title}{distance}{address}[br]{address2}[br] {city}, {state} {postalcode}[br]{phone}[br]{link}[br]{description}[br]{taglist}
Each field is defined as follows:
The Map Address template works just as any other address template, and allows for the control of item format in the marker popup window.
Also, under the Parameters icon (or Configuration in Joomla 1.6) is an Admin Item Template setting that allows for the control of the formatting in the administrator list.

Drop-down lists on the search screen are build entirely by the data in your location records. Data in your location records are build entirely by the data that is imported or added on the location add/edit screen.
The geocoding process can interpret less-than-complete locations, and place a location in a country when the "Country" field was not provided during the import or added to the location manually. This will not add the "Country" to the list of countries available on the search screen. The "Country" field must be complete to match a search performed using the Country drop-down box. The same applies to city and state fields.
If you have one location with "Canada" as the country, and another with "CA", you will produce two entries in the drop-down list, one "CA" and one "Canada"
This allows you complete control over how these lists are populated and in what language.
When using the Joomla system "Read More" separator within the Location Description field, you can use {description}, {introtext} and {fulltext} in your Address Templates as follows
{description} : Includes introtext + fulltext unless "Show only introtext of description" is set to yes. In that case, it is only {introtext}
{fulltext}: Includes only text after the system "Read More"
{introtext}: Includes only text before the system "Read More"
