Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully the po file wasn’t uploaded. You need to zip it first and then upload it again. For the meantime, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

// Translate Comments
// =============================================================================
function change_comments($translated) { 
  $translated = str_ireplace('%s Comment', '%s insert your translation here', $translated);
  return $translated; 
}
add_filter('gettext', 'change_comments' );
// =============================================================================

Please let us know if this works out for you. Thank you.

Hello There,

That could be a bug in your version. X 4.6 is now available in automatic updates! This release contains hotfix for several issues so be sure to check out the changelog. Please do update to the latest version. After doing the updates, always remember to clear all caches when updating so that the code from the latest release is always in use. This will help you to avoid any potential errors.

After the updates if still the text is not translated, you could try to add this code in your child theme’s functions.php file. And please translate the text found in the code. You can get the code from here: http://pastebin.com/T5ZhWB4F

Please let us know how it goes.

i upgrade to version 4.6 and put the code in function.php with the translation but still it doesnt work.
the mo/po files are located in child theme, but in the parent theme,at x/framework/lang, there is a file x.pot.
should i delete it?

Hi there,

How’d you translate it? x.pot is a template you’ll use for translation. Please check it here https://community.theme.co/kb/translation/

Thanks!

Hello There,

Thanks for providing the information. The code I have provided in the previous reply (https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/cannot-translate-string/#post-1099668) should have work. The problem is that you have installed a caching plugin, WP Super Cache and WordFence. You must always clear the plugin caches after any updates or after making any of the changes in your site. You have to clear all caches when updating so that the code from the latest changes is always in use. This will help you to avoid any potential errors.

Hope this make sense.
