Add custom string translation on Polylang, working with Responsive theme

No need for modifying one of them. Just create a new PHP file in your plugins directory and copy paste this:

Thanks for your fast reply.
However i think i made it wrong because nothing change in my polylang settings. I just have some strange display on my page and admin interface?

Could it be just a mishandling or mistake of copy/paste?

I tested the code before so it should work. I repasted it on pastebin. Hopefully it will work this time. https://pastebin.com/0Aw0wDaD

hi Chouby,

i think i’m having the same issue ,, i’m trying to add more translation string to the Polylang plugin since there is only 4 [Site Title,Tagline ,Widget title ,Widget title ] and there is still some string in the page like [read more ..] needs to be translated, also i did not get your answer about adding a php file and what to past in it,, can you explain more ,, thanks

nawras, still looking for an answer?

I think I got this figured out ??

Hi Chouby, I dont get this figured out. After adding the file, in Languages Strings I can add translations of the home_headline’, ‘home_subheadline’, but not of ‘home_content_area’. That does not appear. Should it or am I looking at the wrong place to add translation of the home content area?

using Responsive Child theme, polylang Version 0.9.4 and additional plugin as above. root-cause-analysis.yeuxbleus.eu

I remade the test and it works. It is important to put some content in the theme option. If you leave it empty, it will not appear in the translations list table

thanks Chouby.

There must be some other conditions I am not following then. (relatively new with this)

I have copied the pasted code in a file (adjusted ‘my setting’ to Polylang Homepage) (called it polylang-homepage.php) and uploaded to a folder (polylang-homepage) in the plugins folder of the Responsive Theme.

Activated the plugin in the child theme.

For polylang itself two EN-US and NL are added as languages.

I have activated all other plugins.

headline, subheadline and content area at the theme options are filled in as you can recognize at https://root-cause-analysis.yeuxbleus.eu/

none of these three are appearing at settings, languages, strings translations…

what do I forget or what other conditions i have to keep into account?

in above meant deactivated other plugins of course…

anyone who can advise?

After adding the file, in Languages Strings I can add translations of the home_headline’, ‘home_subheadline’, but not of ‘home_content_area’

none of these three are appearing at settings, languages, strings translations…

Have you the problem for all strings or only one?

and uploaded to a folder (polylang-homepage) in the plugins folder of the Responsive Theme

You mean the ‘wp-content/plugins’ directory or somewhere else ?

Which version of the responsive theme are you using?

all three strings do not appear at settings, languages, strings translations… (in my first message i confused with site title and tag line)

yes in de wp-content/plugins directory

version 1.8.1 Responsive by ThemeID

I have put some screenshots, showing theme, fact that there is both content EN/NL in pages and posts and the translations strings overview. (child theme has unfortunate name Twenty Eleven Child, but is a responsive child…)

I finally found the issue. Due to the fact that you changed the file name and directory, the code was called before Polylang when it should have been called after.

I modified the code to suppress this issue, so it should work now (whatever the name of the file and directory)
