Hi,

I’ve encountered the following fatal error :

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare translate_search_string() (previously declared in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas02_data02/31/2723131/html/wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php:28) in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas02_data02/31/2723131/html/wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php on line 38

Can you please help?

Thanks,

Julie

Hello Julie,

It would be best if we can see the content of your functions.php file. Based on the error you have multiple declaration of this function translate_search_string(). Can you also give us a copy of the code you’ve added so we can check it on our setup?

You can always ask to revert them to a previous working version.

Hello There,

Thank you for giving us the code.
Please update the code to this:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'translate_search_string', 20, 3 );

function translate_search_string( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
if ( $text == 'Read More' ) return __( 'Lire la suite', $domain );
else if ( $text == 'Leave a comment' ) return __( 'Ajouter un commentaire', $domain );
else return $translated_text;
}

Hope this helps.

Hello. Thank you for providing the code. I was able to fix the problem with my hosting provider. However, the code to translate Leave a Comment on posts doesn’t work. Should I be adding the code to a different php file? thanks!

Hi There,

Please update the previous code a bit:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'translate_search_string', 20, 3 );

function translate_search_string( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
if ( $text == 'Read More' ) return __( 'Lire la suite', $domain );
else if ( $text == 'Leave a Comment' ) return __( 'Ajouter un commentaire', $domain );
else return $translated_text;
}

The English text is Leave a Comment, not Leave a comment.

Hope it helps 🙂

Awesome, it works! If there are other text entries I’d like to translate, should I do it like this:

function translate_search_string( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
if ( $text == ‘Read More’ ) return __( ‘Lire la suite’, $domain );
else if ( $text == ‘Leave a Comment’ ) return __( ‘Ajouter un commentaire’, $domain );
else if ( $text == ‘Submit’ ) return __( ‘Envoyer’, $domain );
else return $translated_text;
}

Also, how can I translate the tooltips when hovering on an link?

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in!

You need to use fr_FR as it’s selected in your site (see: http://prntscr.com/8x55am).

In regard to your earlier question, yes you can translate more strings using else if conditional.

Thank you!
