[Resolved] Blog header and WPML

[Luca]

Hi Tom,

I am implementing multilanguage on a GP (Premium) based site.

For the blog page, the header options are no longer controlled from within the page itself but from the customizer.

How would I go about translating the content of that?

Thanks

Hi there,

I think this post should help: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/update-translate/#post-261748

Let us know.

Hi Leo,

Sorry, maybe I was not clear. I am not looking at how to translate GeneratePress itself but rather how to deal with the translation of the content for the page header specifically for the blog page as that – unlinke a normal page – is managed via the Customizer, not via the page options.

Hi there,

You can create a language configuration file: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/

Which options exactly are you wanting to control? I’ll write up a quick example for you.

Hi Tom,

First of all, great work with GeneratePress, I really like it.

In my specific case, what I need to control the “read more” text and the blog header options.

For static pages this is not a problem as you can control the header options from within the metabox in the page backend. But for the blog header you switched that option to the Customizer.

What I need to customize is:

– generate_blog_settings
— read_more

– generate_page_header_options
— page_header_content

Thanks

Hey Tom,

In the meantime, I found out that it is possible to generate the required file also from within WPML interface (there is a small link at the bottom of the “string translation” page to do that) so this is solved.

However, I would suggest that maybe you include the WPML config file by default in future versions of GeneratePress to ensure out-of-the-box compatibility.

I agree, I’ve added a note to get this added into GP Premium 🙂

I think this should be the way to go:

I agree – thanks! 🙂

Hello there,
I have the same problem, the site is already translated, I just get stuck with the header, these are just 2 simple lines, headline and site description, I can’t believe that I need to create a language configuration file for this simple task. Any other idea ?

Thanks

[Tom]

I’m not too sure what you mean? The site title and tagline set in Customize > Site Identity? Those are handled by WordPress itself and just displayed by GP.

[macbroadcast]

Yes.that’s what I mean, so any idea how to translate?

[macbroadcast]

Well that was super easy with string translation 😀

[Tom]

Got it working? 🙂

[macbroadcast]

Yes, simply searched with WPML string translation, translated and ready to go 😛
