Hi!

I am using Swedish translation of .PO and .MO but I am not able to translate the login page. I want to change “Username” to “e-mail”. The strings are translated with POedit but it doesn’t work.

Could you please advise?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! It’s not actually a theme feature or functionality. As stated on our sidebar, Support covers getting setup, theme features, and bug fixes.

Thanks for understanding.

Hi!

Thanks, I understand. Do you want to point me in the right direction?
What is this login form part of?

If not, thanks anyway!

Hi there,

Just to provide some guidance, try adding the following code into your Child Theme’s functions.php file and then you can set your translated strings and see.

//Translate WordPress Login
function my_custom_login_label( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
    if (in_array( $GLOBALS['pagenow'], array( 'wp-login.php', 'wp-register.php' ) )) {
        if ($translated_text === 'Username or Email') $translated_text = 'YOUR TEXT';
        if ($translated_text === 'Password') $translated_text = 'YOUR TEXT';
        if ($translated_text === '← Back to %s') $translated_text = '← YOUR TEXT';

    return $translated_text;
  }
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_custom_login_label', 20, 3 );

Thanks!
