Please try changing these strings via Loco Translate (in Loco/Plugins/HivePress Geolocation and Bookings sections) [How to translate an extension - HivePress Help Center](https://help.hivepress.io/article/12-how-to-translate-an-extension)

The strings may be in different settings of Loco Translate (depending on the context), please check the List a Property string in Loco Translate/Themes/RentalHive section.
