Hi,
there is two words that is not on the website language (Portuguese). Its the “Read More” link that appears after the expert text on the Blog. Should I solve this issue with PoEdit or there is another way?

thank you!

Hello @juliana,

Thanks for writing in! :slight_smile:

There are texts that can’t be translated by PoEdit and that would be the automatically generated parts by Wordpress such as the “Read More” text.

You can however install a third-party plugin which caters this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/

Hope this helps.

Hello!

Hi there,

If you want to translate only the read more text, you can simply add this code in the functions.php file of your child theme:

function my_text_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	switch ( $translated_text ) {
		case 'Read More' :
			$translated_text = __( 'YOUR NEW READ MORE TEXT HERE', '__x__' );
			break;
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_text_strings', 20, 3 );

Please replace YOUR NEW READ MORE TEXT HERE in the code to your translated text.

Hope this helps.

Thank you!! yes that did work!

Now I found another 2 places that also need s to be translate.

How can i change the “Share on”…

  1. When I share by email it opens a window from the primary email with a text placeholder on the text box saying:
    “Hey, thought you might enjoy this! Check it out when you have a chance:link…”
    I would like to change this phrase.

thats all
Thanks for your help.
