Remove 'Continue reading' link

A question and the solution in 1, as a quick tip for other users. I was trying to find a way to make the ‘Continue reading’ link dissapear, that WordPress inserts automatically, because my website is not in English.
By adding this code to your functions.php,the link goes away. See https://www.fasol.nl for a working example.

// Remove Continue reading
function sbt_auto_excerpt_more( $more ) {
return ' >>>';
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_more', 'sbt_auto_excerpt_more', 20 );

function sbt_custom_excerpt_more( $output ) {return preg_replace('/<a[^>]+>Continue reading.*?<\/a>/i','',$output);
}
add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'sbt_custom_excerpt_more', 20 );
