Hi,

Again a translation issue. I have translated ‘Share on Facebook’ et al hover texts to Dutch in Poedit. However the translation doesn’t stick ’cause it still shows the English hover text. I have added this in functions.php:

add_filter('ngettext', 'translate_text' );
function translate_text($translated) { 
  $translated = str_ireplace('Comment', 'reactie', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Comments', 'reacties', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share on Facebook', 'Deel via Facebook', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share on Twitter', 'Deel via Twitter', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share on Google+', 'Deel via Google+', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share on LinkedIn', 'Deel via LinkedIn', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share on Pinterest', 'Deel via Pinterest', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share on Reddit', 'Deel via Reddit', $translated);
  $translated = str_ireplace('Share via Email', 'Deel via Email', $translated);
  return $translated; 
}

but to no avail. Again this is a rather annoying issue where the .po translation doesn’t catch on. Please advise as to how to solve this.

Hi There,

Please try with this code:

add_filter('ngettext', 'translate_text' );
add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text' );
function translate_text($translated) { 
	$translated = str_ireplace('Comment', 'reactie', $translated);
	$translated = str_ireplace('Comments', 'reacties', $translated);
	$translated = str_ireplace('Share on Facebook', 'Deel via Facebook', $translated);
	$translated = str_ireplace('Share on Twitter', 'Deel via Twitter', $translated);
	$translated = str_ireplace('Share on Google+', 'Deel via Google+', $translated);
	$translated = str_ireplace('Share on LinkedIn', 'Deel via LinkedIn', $translated);
	$translated = str_ireplace('Share on Pinterest', 'Deel via Pinterest', $translated);
	$translated = str_ireplace('Share on Reddit', 'Deel via Reddit', $translated);
	$translated = str_ireplace('Share via Email', 'Deel via Email', $translated);
	return $translated; 
}

Hope it helps 🙂

That did the trick, thanks. Tell me, why is it that these translation issues keep happening?

Glad it works for you. The last code provided should work and make sure to setup a child theme, so that it will remain when you update your X theme.

Thanks!
