setting different footers per language

The same question for example regarding the “continue reading” text (i.e. in the twenty ten theme)?
Thanks again!

The “continue reading” text is defined in your theme. If the text is not translated, it probably mean that your theme is not (or not fully) translated. Have you po/mo files corresponding to your language in your theme directory?

You don’t need a footer.php per language. I the problem is just to translate one or some strings, then you just have to translate your theme (this may help you)

If you want to fully customize your footer, then you may use if statements such as:

$language = get_locale();
if ($language == 'en_US') {
 ... do something ...
}
else {
 ... do something else ...
}

Thank you very much Chouby, for not only supplying a great plug-in but also for your support!

I will work my way through your suggestions and hopefully succeed ??

Thanks once again!
