Technically, and this is highly discouraged do to it’s unfriendly and unpredictable nature, you can do this: <?php _e( $data[‘hair’][‘type’] ); ?> However, you’ll need to have all the possible values for that (“brown hair”, “blond hair”, etc.), listed in a .POT file (a translation template) so that translators know what to translate. You’ll need … Read more
I created a ltr.css file and put that on theme’s root folder. When checked the site in English, the ltr.css loads automatically. So as it seems WordPress do all needed things in the background and there’s no need to do in addition.
WordPress provides the _x() function which is just like __(), but it adds the $context parameter which is used to differentiate between identical strings. In the example below, some output is generated in the footer. The translatable string is Message is used in both cases, but in the first instance, Message is given the context … Read more
I thought (and hoped) that the translations were written in the folder wp-content/languages/loco/plugins/my-plugin. They are, but only when you create the file in that location. Any users wishing to customize your provided translations should create a new translations file and not edit yours. Opening your provided PO file and starting to edit will not automatically … Read more
i had a similar question posted some time ago: why is translation not working on theme? it might be the solution to put your translation files into the right location (languages directory in wp-content/languages/themes/) and prefix them with the theme name like themename-pt_PT.po
I can’t comment so I’ll answer and slightly adjust Bhagyashree’s which is exactly what you’ll need to do based on your question. Except you may want to know how to include the 2 pages rather than duplicating the function. And also passing in an array of strings to replace. function replace_some_text( $content ) { // … Read more
When you use _e your echoing the translated string. But you already have an echo so just use __(. This is the correct code for your example echo ‘<h1>’ . __(‘September’, ‘simultan’) . ‘ ‘ . $day . ‘</h1>’; If you want to add variables in your translations you should use sprintf like this: $date … Read more
Based on a previous Q&A, How to get current get_post_types name?, you could use get_post_type_object() to get the whole post type object, which will have the translated name in it. $post_type_object = get_post_type_object(get_post_type()); if ( $post_type_object ) { echo esc_html( $post_type_object->labels->singular_name ); }
The use of each depends on your choice. If, for example, the text is in front of a field, I think it is better to use the symbol: In general, you should see if it really needs it or not. You do not have to use it or not. In the text you sent, the … Read more
It is better to use a separate file to prevent an overwriting during an upgrade. Filter load_textdomain_mofile and replace the old file with your own: add_filter( ‘load_textdomain_mofile’, function( $mofile, $domain ) { if ( ‘name_of_the_textdomain’ === $domain ) return ‘path_to_your_file.mo’; return $mofile; });
