How to switch standard content in blog on site to german
6 replies · Started by Maike on June 14, 2021
Hello dear Generatepress team,
I have already set German as the language in the general settings of WordPress, but standard content in English can still be seen in the blog area (e.g. Category, Leave a Comment ...).
Is there a way to switch Generatepress to German?
Many greetings and thank you very much
Hi Michael,
Did you just switch the language? If so, try following the instruction in this article:

Let me know if this helps :)
Hey Ying,
thanks for the fast answer.
I tried your link and downloaded both the GeneratePress theme translation file and the GP Premium plugin file. In my WordPress, neither the folder wp-content / languages / themes nor the folder wp-content / languages / plugins existed. I created both folders and copied the files in. However, this has not changed anything for me after I restarted my local WP installation.
After a bit of testing, I found that the translation works, but 2 headers in the single blog post comment area do not belong to the standard translation and are therefore not translated. But I cannot find the access to where that can be changed.
These are 1) "[NUMBER] thoughts on [POSTTITLE]" and 2) "Leave a Comment"
The content of the square brackets belongs dynamically to the respective blog post.
I found a usefull post in your forum here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/change-leave-a-comment-text/
This solves Problem 2).
But for 1) - it would be nice to find an equal solution :)
I think German is translated 100%, you should not need the filter to do custom translating.
Is there an “Update Translations” button in “Dashboard > Updates” in your admin area? If so, can you click it?
Let me know :)
Sorry for the late answer. I'm just continuing to work on the website.
There is no update option - it's written: All translations are up to date.
I'll just hide that now to solve issue 2). It's not a perfect solution, but it's faster than searching the origin of this issue.

Then it seems it's already been updated... weird...
To translate the # thoughs on the title you can try this filter for now:
