We’ve been using WPML and Theme X for a while now since our clients are 99% french.
We recently noticed that many terms on our own website are not translated properly, see attached files.
Terms such as “Reply”, “Comments”, etc.

We’re starting to think that all native Theme X terms are not being translated and we don’t know where to look to get it fixed.
ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE reports “fr” properly.

Any hint or checkup would be appreciated.
Thank you for any feedback!

Wish I could edit the first post, here is another (more cropped) version. Sorry for the multiposting.

Hi there,

Please find and translate strings in x.pot file, please check this link : https://community.theme.co/kb/translation

Hope it helps.

Hello Christopher, thank you for the follow-up.
Even though that doesn’t explain why WPML wouldn’t work properly with Theme X, we gave it a shot to fix the issue.
Sadly, we didn’t succeed that way, it may be our fault, but we followed the provided tutorial.

See attached files, let us know if we failed somewhere.

Looking at the bottom of this page: https://www.magikweb.ca/blogue/comment-choisir-son-hebergement-web still shows “Reply” and “Edit”.

Hi there,

Please create a new folder in child theme directory called ‘languages’. Move both fr_CA.po and fr_CA.mo files to x-child/languages.

Add following code in child theme’s functions.php file :

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'load_child_language' );
	function load_child_language() {
		load_child_theme_textdomain( '__x__', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' );
}

Hope it helps.

Hello Christopher,
We did the suggested changes as shown in the attached files. We specifically translated the string “Read More”.
It still reads “Read More” in the blog section: https://www.magikweb.ca/blogue

Thank you for your patience.

Hi there,

I just checked and the only “Read More” that WPML could see is from Buddypress. Or simply, the translation file isn’t loaded at all. I went ahead and edit your code in child theme to force “Read More” translations, but it throws error on line one

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /home/magikweb/public_html/wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php on line

I went ahead and fix the encoding issue. And the translation fix should be like this

add_filter('gettext', 'x_translate_text' , 20, 3);
function x_translate_text($translated_text, $text, $domain){

	$translation = array(
		'Share on Facebook'	=> 'Partager sur Facebook',
		'Share via Email'	=> 'Partager sur Email',
		'Share on Google+'	=> 'Partager sur Google+',
		'Share on LinkedIn'	=> 'Partager sur Linkedin',
		'Share on Twitter'	=> 'Partager sur Twitter',
		'Read More'	=> 'Lire la suite'
	);

	if( isset( $translation[$text] ) ) {
		return $translation[$text];
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

Thanks!

Thank you Rad. We don’t understand why WPML wouldn’t see it.
Nonetheless, we will do all remaining translations that way when WPML doesn’t find them from now on.

Have a great day!

You are most welcome. 🙂
