404 page in different languages

  • I run a multisite with subsites in different languages. How can I implement translations of my 404 page to match the language of the subpage?

    I use child themes, but they are not language specific. A child theme can be used for different languages.

    I have already customized title and text via add_filter / generate_404_title / generate_404_text.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi there,

    I wonder if a plugin like this would help?: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/404page/

    That way you should just be able to translate the page you set as the 404 page.

    Let us know ??

    The 404 page should appear in the language of the subsite just like all other sections of WordPress. Without the individual users or I have to take care of it.

    This should be possible without an extra plugin

    Hi,

    You can try this approach:

    add_filter( 'gettext', function( $text ) {
    if ( 'Oops! That page can’t be found.' === $text ) {
		if( 'en_US' == get_locale() ){ return 'Your new text in english'; }
		if( 'fr_FR' == get_locale() ){ return 'Your new text in french'; }
    }
	if ( 'It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try searching?' === $text ) {
        if( 'en_US' == get_locale() ){ return 'Your new text in english'; }
		if( 'fr_FR' == get_locale() ){ return 'Your new text in french'; }
    }
    return $text;
} );

    It gets the text and translates it depending on the get_locale() value.

    You can change/add more if( 'locale_LOCALE' == get_locale() ) conditions if you want to add more languages.

    You can use this as reference for the WordPress locale languages.
