Hi there,

is the Site Multi Lingual ?
If so the string should be automatically translated.

Yes, It’s multilingual

As you can see it’s not translated into Spanish the “READ MORE” buttons.
Neither to Italian

Hi there,

Which plugin are you using to translate your site?

Hmm, it should work by default as we have a wpml-config.xml file which lists that option as translatable.

You could try something like this:

add_action( 'init', function() {
    if ( function_exists( 'pll_register_string' ) ) {
        pll_register_string( 'gp-premium', 'Read more' );
    }
} );

add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', function( $options ) {
    if ( function_exists( 'pll__' ) ) {
        $options['read_more'] = pll__( 'Read more' );
    }

    return $options;
} );

I think the problem is that the label is displayed under the customization options. Is not an static label. I think the “Read more” you are talking about is a different Read more.

Theorically If I override the text is the customizer, then it will appear that text unconditionally (regardless of the language)

But if I leave it empty the button just not appears.

Ok, I think I’ve found the issue

wp-content/plugins/gp-premium/langs# ls
gp-premium-cs_CZ.mo gp-premium-da_DK.po gp-premium-fr_FR.mo gp-premium-it_IT.po gp-premium.pot gp-premium-pt_PT.mo gp-premium-ru_RU.po gp-premium-sv_SE.mo gp-premium-zh_CN.po
gp-premium-cs_CZ.po gp-premium-de_DE.mo gp-premium-fr_FR.po gp-premium-pl_PL.mo gp-premium-pt_BR.mo gp-premium-pt_PT.po gp-premium-sk_SK.mo gp-premium-sv_SE.po
gp-premium-da_DK.mo gp-premium-de_De.po gp-premium-it_IT.mo gp-premium-pl_PL.po gp-premium-pt_BR.po gp-premium-ru_RU.mo gp-premium-sk_SK.po gp-premium-zh_CN.mo

There are no es_ES or it_IT translations there !

I’ve modified the blog/functions/generate-blog.php

And now it works fine the translation. Obviously, this is not a great tweak…

The code I provided above should achieve something very similar to the change you made in generate-blog.php.

Doing this is the exact same thing, but without altering the plugin:

add_filter( 'option_generate_blog_settings', function( $options ) {
    $options['read_more'] = __( 'Read more', 'gp-premium' );

    return $options;
} );
