Hi there

I have the same problem but with the french translation.

In the comments section everything is translated but the title wich is

2 thoughts on “Accueil”

All other fields are ok and translated (modify, respond, Leave a comment, publish comment)

Beside that I would like the title to be “comments” or the french translation “Commentaires” and not having the name of the page on it like “thoughts on Homepage_Title”

Of course I could go .comments-title display none but I want A generic title for the readers like “Comments” or the french translation of it (Commentaires)

How can I do that?

The update section states :
Thèmes
Vos thèmes sont tous à jour. (theme up to date)

Traductions
Vos traductions sont toutes à jour. (translations up to date)

I have another issue still with comments but I will open another thread about it

Thanks for your help Tom

Hi there,

You should be able to change this in the generatepress.po file in wp-content/languages/themes.

You could also use a plugin like this: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/

The string would be: One thought on “%s”

The text domain is: generatepress

Hi Tom

Thank you for your help and for letting me know about this handy plugin!

Unfortunatly, I tried something on my side while waiting for your response :

– Created a child theme
– Copy pasted the comment php file in the child folder

Modified the following :
Original :
esc_html_x( 'One thought on “%s”', 'comments title', 'generatepress' ),
Modified:
esc_html_x( 'Un commentaire', 'comments title', 'generatepress' ),

and in the Else part
Original

'%1$s thought on “%2$s”',
'%1$s thoughts on “%2$s”',

Modified

'%1$s Commentaire',
'%1$s Commentaires',

I wasnt sure about this because it seems that the before else part is related to one comment only, but the else seems to overrule (If I have a single comment, I have ‘1 comment’ displayed and not ‘ONE comment’

Well anyway that fixed my problem but I wanted to know if it might be messy when a future update kicks in?

I dont know anything about code beside what I learned myself and I hope I didnt messed up

Thank you Tom

[Tom]

That’s definitely an option. The only issue there is you won’t receive any updates to that file if I make changes in future versions.

Hi there!
Excuse me, but I’m al little confused with the german and the french solution.
It seems as though I have the same problem with my page:
http://www.elvispapa.de/2017/07/22/erster-tag/

Where it says
‘1 thought on “<post-title>”‘ it should say
‘1 Kommentar zu “<post-title>”‘.

I updated my WordPress half an hour ago.
Dashboard/Updates/Translations says ‘translations are up-to-date’.

[Marcel]

I’ve tried the say-what-plugin using the strings provided in (the fuzzy) ‘Translation of GeneratePress’ @ https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-themes/generatepress/de/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=354251&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=45178821.

Don’t see any difference on the webpage, though.
Any chance on helping me out on this one?
That’d be great!

[Tom]

What did you add as the text domain in Say What?

[Marcel]

I added “generatepress” as the ‘text domain’ (as you suggested in one of the earlier posts of this thread).
I left ‘text context’ blank.

[Tom]

I just ran a test and didn’t notice any issues: https://www.screencast.com/t/lKwySYvLbFZY

I went into “Settings > General” and set my Site Language as: Deutsch

Then I went into “Dashboard > Updates” and updated my translations.

If you’ve done the above, do you have any custom functions or files in your child theme?

[Marcel]

Thanks, Tom.
That did the trick – at least for Site Language “Deutsch”.

My “Settings > General > Site Language” were set to “Deutsch (Sie)” which means German, using the formal form of ‘you’.

Personally I prefer the informal you. But most of my fellow Germans prefer the formal you – especially when it’s about integrity (e.g. of a web-page).

If I could choose I’d rather use the formal form of German (“Deutsch (Sie)”) and alter the comments-title to ‘1 Kommentar zu “<post-title>”’.

Can I achieve that by using the Say-What-Plugin?
It didn’t really work out in my first try.

Thanks so far.
Marcel

[Tom]

Say What should be able to handle it.

If not, we just need to get this translations to 96% accepted (at least) so the new translations ship: https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/de/formal/wp-themes/generatepress

[Marcel]

Thanks a lot, Tom.
I’ll have a go at it later on.

For now I have tried to fill up the gaps in the Translation of GeneratePress: German (Formal).
Not sure if or how I am entitled to approve other people’s suggestions to switch them from ‘Waiting’ to ‘Current’, to push the 91% up to >96%.

[Tom]

I’ve notified one of the editors that should be able to approve them.

Thank you! 🙂
