Hi,

How can I translate the ‘blog texts’ to Danish?
I used a template, and need to translate:
– View Post
– In
– Recent Posts
…etc.

Hope you can help – see photo attached.

Thanks, Kia.

This did not work.
I followed the steps in the article, but something is wrong. The blog is still English.

I attached photo of FTP – what can I have done wrong?

I pasted the case in functions.php – does this code need editing?

Thanks ;o)

KR, Kia

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! Please upload the _x_-xxxx.xx file to your server. The best place to upload is in this folder wp-content/languages/themes/ and make sure that the filename is this:

__x__-da_DA.po
__x__-da_DA.mo

If still some of the text were not translated, please add this custom function in your child theme’s functions.php file

add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text' );
function translate_text($translated) { 
  $translated = str_ireplace('View Post', 'Insert your text translation', $translated);
  return $translated; 
}

Please let us know how it goes.

Oh, this is still not working correct.
My news page still says ‘View Post’ in the header.

I uploaded the files with the correct name as you told me and also added the text to functions.php.

What could I have missed?

Thanks so much for your support!

Hi there,

1. Please remove this code from your child theme’s style.css

add_filter( 'gettext', 'replace_search_string', 20, 3 );
function replace_search_string( $search_text, $text, $domain ) {
    if ( $text == 'Type and Press “enter” to Search' ) return __( 'Søg', $domain );
    else return $search_text;
}

add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text' );
function translate_text($translated) { 
  $translated = str_ireplace('View Post', 'Insert your text translation', $translated);
  return $translated; 
}

2. Then add this code to your child theme’s functions.php

add_filter('gettext', 'view_post_translation', 20, 3  );
function view_post_translation( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) { 
  $translated = ( $text == 'View Post' ? 'Se indlæg' : $translated_text );
  return $translated; 
}

Please do not add the code to child theme’s style.css, it should be added to child theme’s functions.php

CSS is for style.css, while PHP is fore functions.php

Thanks!
