How to translate the "social share" after each post

[v_orphanidou]

Hello there,

I’m having a really hard time translating this on my site

(I actually managed to translate the hover text for every social but not the title)

After adding this code in my child’s functions.php file

// Add Social Sharing after the single post content
// =============================================================================

function x_add_social_sharing ( $content ) {
  if ( is_singular('post') ) {
    echo do_shortcode('[share title="Share this post" facebook="true" twitter="true" linkedin="true" pinterest="true" reddit="true" email="true"]');
  }
}
add_action('x_before_the_content_end', 'x_add_social_sharing');

in order to show the “social share” after each and every post, I then tried to translate everything using Poedit.
I translated X and Cornerstone but nothing did the job.

What should I do?

You’re doing a great job by the way! Keep it up!

Thank you in advance,
Valia

PS By the end of this post you’ll find an example of what I’m trying to translate: https://www.savethevoiceless.com/alitheies-psemata/adoption-schmuggler/

Wordpress 5.4.2
X 7.2.3
Cornerstone 4.2.3

Hello Vasiliki,

Thanks for writing in!

Please update your PHP code and use this:

// Add Social Sharing after the single post content
// =============================================================================

function x_add_social_sharing ( $content ) {
  if ( is_singular('post') ) {
    echo do_shortcode('[share facebook="true" twitter="true" linkedin="true" pinterest="true" reddit="true" email="true"]');
  }
}
add_action('x_before_the_content_end', 'x_add_social_sharing');

The title="Share this post" were removed from the code so that the default Share this post title of the shortcode which you already have translated in PoEdit will be displayed.

We would love to know if this has worked for you. Thank you.
