Translation doesn't work as expected

Hi there,

I'm currently using Classipress 4 and trying to translate it to French.
I'm using the english .pot file from https://www.appthemes.com/support/la...s/classipress/ (v4) and the french one (v3.5)
I've been following the part : How to Update an Older Translation from this link (https://www.appthemes.com/blog/how-t...rdpress-theme/)

If I move the files to wp-content/languages/themes/classipress/classipress-fr_FR.po and .../classipress-fr_FR.mo, it doesn't work.
So I moved the files to wp-content/languages/themes/classipress-fr_FR.mo instead and it's now partially working.

Indeed, I have a very weird thing happening.
Some of the text that I translated has been translated to French by Wordpress but some didn't change at all.

Example: I'm somehow unable to change the text from `Search for...` in the homepage but `what are you looking for` in the same homepage is translated to French.
I'm 200% sure I don't have any other `Search for...` in the .po file that I forgot to translate.

Btw, I've been looking in the code as well. `Search for...` is used in `includes/views.php` on Line 53.
If I change the code here, it has no impact on my theme/website.
I'm lost here.

Anyone could help me please ?
Thanks in advance
