Hello,

my name is Georg Dick. I am using x Theme on my website phaenomen.net.
How can I translate these texts without changing the function.php?

Thank you for your answer.

Kind regards.

Georg Dick

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in!

If you’re referring sharing options in portfolio page, you need to translate strings in x.pot file, to do so follow this link https://community.theme.co/kb/translation

If you’re referring to social sharing shortcodes, this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

Please add this in child theme’s functions.php file :

add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text', 20 );
function translate_text($translated) { 
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share on Facebook', 'Your new text 1', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share on Twitter', 'Your new text 2', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share on Google+', 'Your new text 3', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share on LinkedIn', 'Your new text 4', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share via Email', 'Your new text 5', $translated);
  return $translated; 
}

Hope it helps.

Hi Georg,

#2 The code will be overwritten when you update the parent theme. So to keep the code use a child theme.

Social Sharing element provide you a input field for that.

Thanks.

Thank you.
The screenshot you mention is to find within cornerstone? But I don’t use cornerstorne. I work in the text modus.
What to do? Thank you for your guidance.
