Blog Options "Read More"

[toxpat]

Hello,

How to change or translate “Read More” button in blog page?

I add Excerpt Length (number of words) – 50 of my 500 text.

So i need to change “Read More” button in my own language.

Thank You

We recommend using the Loco Translate plugin.

I won’t go into the instructions of how to use it as the plugin’s user manual and beginner’s guide explains much more than I can here, but if you get stuck on a particular aspect, please let me know and I’ll try to help.

Thank you, but i can’t find “read more” text in this plugin.

It’s imposible tranlate with CSS?

CSS is for styling or positioning content. It is not used to create or edit translations or any other content.

Here are the steps to translate “Read More” into your language.

In your dashboard go to ‘Loco Translate’ > ‘Themes’

Click on ‘Trusted Pro’

Click on ‘New Language’

Choose your language in ‘WordPress language’

Click ‘Start translating’ button

Scroll through ‘Source text’ until you find ‘Read More’

Write your own translation of Read More in the translation box and click ‘Save’ button, see attached image

That’s it. Now the blog post excerpts will show the translated text instead of read more.

To translate with using a plugin, there is a file named “trusted.pot” located in the “/languages/” folder of the theme.

Open this trusted.pot file on your computer using suitable language translation software such as Poedit.

Use the Poedit software to create the language files for your language. You can translate any of the theme’s text strings such as “Read More” and many others. Some of the text strings are visible only in the admin of your dashboard, and some such as “Read More” are visible on the front-end of the site, so you can translate only those that you need.

Save the new language translation files. This will generate two files to save e.g. for Spanish “es_ES.mo” and “es_ES.po” (the theme is already translated into Spanish, this is just an example).

Upload the saved .mo and .po files to the theme’s “/languages/” folder on your website (located at yourdomain/wp-content/themes/trusted-pro/languages/)

The Loco Translate plugin generates the language files and saves in the correct location, directly in your site admin so you only need to actually do the translation without all extra steps needed to do this manually without a plugin.
