[Resolved] How to translate fieldnames in the blog comment form

Hi Vladimir,

You’ll need a couple of Filter hooks to alter those text.

Let’s start with “Leave a Comment”.

Add this PHP:

add_filter( 'generate_leave_comment','tu_custom_leave_comment' );
function tu_custom_leave_comment() {
    return 'Join the conversation';
}

Replace Join the conversation with your translated text.

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/#code-snippets

Then for “Post Comment”. Add this:

add_filter( 'generate_post_comment ','tu_custom_post_comment' );
function tu_custom_post_comment() {
    return 'Post Comment customize';
}

Replace Post Comment customize with your translated text.

Now, for the Post Comment Form fields, add this:

add_filter( 'comment_form_default_fields',function($fields){ 
	$commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();
	$required = get_option( 'require_name_email' );

	$fields['author'] = sprintf(
		'<label for="author" class="screen-reader-text">%1$s</label><input placeholder="%1$s%3$s" id="author" name="author" type="text" value="%2$s" size="30" />',
		esc_html__( 'Nombre', 'generatepress' ),
		esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author'] ),
		$required ? ' *' : ''
	);

	$fields['email'] = sprintf(
		'<label for="email" class="screen-reader-text">%1$s</label><input placeholder="%1$s%3$s" id="email" name="email" type="email" value="%2$s" size="30" />',
		esc_html__( 'Correo Eléctronico', 'generatepress' ),
		esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author_email'] ),
		$required ? ' *' : ''
	);

	$fields['url'] = sprintf(
		'<label for="url" class="screen-reader-text">%1$s</label><input placeholder="%1$s" id="url" name="url" type="url" value="%2$s" size="30" />',
		esc_html__( 'Website', 'generatepress' ),
		esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author_url'] )
	);

$consent   = empty( $commenter['comment_author_email'] ) ? '' : ' checked="checked"';

    $fields['cookies'] = '<p class="comment-form-cookies-consent"><input id="wp-comment-cookies-consent" name="wp-comment-cookies-consent" type="checkbox" value="yes"' . $consent . ' />' . '<label for="wp-comment-cookies-consent">TEXT FOR CHECKBOX HERE</label></p>';

	return $fields;
}, 15, 1);

Replace Nombre, Correo Eléctronico, and Website with your translated texts.

Let us know how it goes.

Yes, I can give you the code for that.

I updated the third code above, can you test that instead?:

Replace TEXT FOR CHECKBOX HERE with your translated text as well.

Let us know how it goes.

Yes, I can send code for that:

add_filter( 'gettext', function( $text ) {
    if ( 'Your comment is awaiting moderation.' === $text ) {
        return 'Translated Text abc';
    }

    return $text;
} );

Replace Translated Text abc with your translated text.

There’s no filter for that.

Take note that you can submit a translation for your language in WordPress here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/generatepress/

You’re welcome, Vladimir!

I see. Can you try modifying the code here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-to-translate-fieldnames-in-the-blog-comment-form/#post-2452367

To this:

add_filter( 'gettext', function( $text ) {
    if ( 'Your comment is awaiting moderation.' === $text ) {
        return 'Translated Text abc';
    } else if ( 'Komentari' === $text ) {
        return 'Translated Text abc';
    } else if ( 'Logged in as' === $text ) {
        return 'Translated Text abc';
    } else if ( 'Edit your profile' === $text ) {
        return 'Translated Text abc';
    } else if ( 'Log out' === $text ) {
        return 'Translated Text abc';
    } else if ( 'Required fields are marked' === $text ) {
        return 'Translated Text abc';
    } else if ( 'Post Comment' === $text ) {
        return 'Translated Text abc';
    }

    return $text;
} );

Replace Translated Text abc for all translations.

I see. If it’s not translating, you may need to submit a translation here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/generatepress/

Or, you may need to use a translation plugin.

Those texts are from WordPress, and aren’t controlled by GeneratePress. I can’t see a specific filter to alter their text as well.
