Custom string translation syntax

Hi
I have used the following:

<?php $allrightsreserved = pll__('All Rights Reserved'); ?>

and then inserted the variable into the copyright bit at the bottom of the page.

<?php echo '&copy;&nbsp;' . date('Y') . ', ' . $allrightsreserved; ?>

I hope that helps.

the template syntax is:

echo '<div class="related"><h4 class="related-portfolio"> text label </h4><ul>';

I want to replace “text label” with new string translation.

I have also register a string in functions.php:

(add_action('init', function() {  pll_register_string('mytheme-hello', 'varietes');
});)

I am trying pll_e(‘varietes’) but the syntax does not work

Hi
pll_e
Echoes a translated string previously registered with pll_register_string, I have just tried this on my website and it does not work. I think it is used just to output the translated string without using ‘echo’.

pll__
translates a string previously registered with pll_register_string, this is the way I have done it and it works.

The code should look like this below and without <ul> on the end as you’ve got it:

<?php 
$textlable = pll__('varietes');
echo '<div class="related"><h4 class="related-portfolio">' . $textlabel . '</h4>';
?>

I put that as my first answer but used <?php $allrightsreserved = pll__('All Rights Reserved'); ?> as an example as I use it on my website.

Just try it.

Hi Morris,

I try:

 $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
                                if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
                                     $textlable = pll__('varietes');
                                    echo '<div class="related"><h4 class="related-portfolio">' . $textlabel . '</h4><ul>';

but $textlabel appears outside the h4 heading

*** $textlabel = Similar varieties:

Thank you

Hi
Sorry I made a mistake $textlable should have been $textlabel, see below:

<?php 
$textlabel = pll__('varietes');
echo '<div class="related"><h4 class="related-portfolio">' . $textlabel . '</h4>';
?>

This is only the code you need and you don’t need the_query bit.

I think the problem is the syntax.

` $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$textlable = pll_e(‘varietes’);
echo ‘<div class=”related”><h4 class=”related-portfolio”>’ . $textlable . ‘</h4><ul>’;
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
echo ‘<li>’;
echo ‘<a href=”‘ . get_permalink() . ‘” title=”‘ . get_the_title() . ‘” rel=”bookmark”>’ . get_the_title() . ‘</a>’;
echo ‘</li>’;
}
echo ‘</ul></div>’;
}
wp_reset_postdata();`

In frontent, The string translation appears outside the h4 heading
