[Support request] Translating Page Navigation

[John]

Hi,

Re: https://www.origamispirit.com/es/page/2/

Site translated with WPML.

At the bottom of the page is pagination delivered with the snippet:

add_action('wp',function(){
	remove_action( 'generate_after_loop', 'generate_do_post_navigation' );	
});

add_action( 'generate_after_loop', function() {	
    echo '<div class="paging-navigation">';
    posts_nav_link( ' ', '<<< PREVIOUS ', ' NEXT >>>' );
    echo '</div>';

});

PREVIOUS and NEXT are not being translated even though I’ve customized the string in WPLM. I’ve also cleared server/browser caches but no change.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

John

Hi there,

not sure on that, WPML may be able to advise.

But why not use the default post paging nav ?
You can filter the default text here:

Hi David,

WPML did advise and changed the snippet to the following. WPML was then able to translate these strings. I don’t know why I didn’t do as you suggested above originally, and I can’t find in any of my topics where I found the pagination snippet.

add_action('wp',function(){
	remove_action( 'generate_after_loop', 'generate_do_post_navigation' );	
});

add_action( 'generate_after_loop', function() {	
    echo '<div class="paging-navigation">';
	$previous = _( '<<< PREVIOUS ', 'my-text-domain' );
	$next = _( ' NEXT >>>', 'my-text-domain' );
	
    posts_nav_link(' ',$previous,$next);
	
    echo '</div>';

});

That makes sense – glad to see you got a working solution and thanks for sharing that here!
