Hi there,

I tried to translate some of the default text of the theme, especially the text that is shown to visitors of my site. I followed your guide: https://community.theme.co/kb/translation/

I created the .po and .mo files and put them in public_html/wp-content/languages/themes, because I don’t use a childtheme. I named them _x_-nl_NL.po and _x_-nl_NL.mo.

But nothing happens. For instance, on http://www.marjolijnzegers.nl/inspiratie there is still the term Read more instead of the translation: Lees meer.

I think I have to do another thing, but I don’t know what. Can you please help me?

Hey there,

Your using a single underscore in _x_. Please use double underscore __x__

Thanks.

tnx!! nice when solutions are so easy…

But… could it be that Read more is somewhere else defined? Because this term is not translated (and I checked the .po file, there I translated it.

Hi,

Please install and activate a child theme.

https://community.theme.co/kb/how-to-setup-child-themes/

Then add this in your child theme’s functions.php

add_filter( 'gettext', 'x_translate_read_more', 9999, 3 );
function x_translate_read_more( $translated, $text, $domain ) {    
	if($text=='Read More' && ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == 'nl' ) return 'Lees Verder';
	else  return $translated;
}

Hope that helps
