Hey all ! My name is Stephanie and I want to translate my wordpress theme in french. I paid elegant themes for a very nice selections of themes, but I have to do one website in french. I can get to translate the titles in the editor, but I can't seem to find how to get the '' read more '' after each post and some buttons please. Anyone knows how to ?
This is a matter of the current WP translation. If your WP is not in french, get the french language pack here: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#French_-_Fran.C3.A7ais_.28fr_FR.29 There are also ways to "hardcode" the phrases in your template. Give us the code that prints "Read more" and we'll see what we can do.
On an other forum somebody pointed me to '' poedit '' I'll give it a try and I'll come back to you. What do you think about this, has anyone evertried poedit to translate a whole site
Poedit is a software which can easily edit translation files (.po - these are converted to .mo format). I was using Poedit to translate plugins. I think that it can be used to translate themes too (and WP itself as well), but I do not recommend to use it because translation files generally require more server memory in order to function. I have all my templates translated by "hardcoding" phrases into pure HTML - I also recommend you to do that. If you encounter any problem, let me know.
