Hi,

I would love to change the text content of the default search bar. All the search bar tool is in english but my website is for french people.
I would like to change the text “Search” and “Type and press ‘ENTER’ to search” in French language.
And I would like to change too if it’s possible, the result search page which is in english too “Search Results
Below you’ll see everything we could locate for your search of “….” “.

I already have a child theme so I can change some php file if I need it.
How can I change this content ?

Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

Thanks for posting in.

Are you going to set up a multilingual site? If not, then please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php

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

function x_change_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {

    $strings = array(

        'Type and Press “enter” to Search' => 'Your translation here',
        'Search' => 'Your translation here',
        'Search Results for ' => 'Your translation here',
        'Search Results' => 'Your translation here',
        'Below you\'ll see everything we could locate for your search of ' => 'Your translation here',

    );

    $string = $strings[$translated_text];

    if ( isset( $string ) && !empty( $string ) && $domain == '__x__' ) return $string;

    return $translated_text;
}

Hope this helps.
