Translations WPML – Related Posts

[SlickbearParticipant]

Hi,

My site is using WPML and I have Related Posts Pro installed.
I need to know how I can translated the title above the related posts i.e. “Related Posts”

I have searched your site and documentation and cannot find it.

Thanks

David

Hi!

It’s not yet possible. Tomorrow when I get back to office I look up a solution to hard-code something translatable there for you.

Hi!

I looked up all possible solution based on this WPML article.

Method 2 and 3 are the possibilities, probably method 2 is easier in our case. This means that the title must be hard coded and then translated on the WPML string translations interface.

Open up the wp-content/plugins/related-posts-pro/includes/views/rpp.shortcode.php file and go lines 15-17, where you should see this:

<?php if (isset($options["title_text"]) && $options["title_text"] != ""): ?>
    <legend><?php echo $options["title_text"]; ?></legend>
<?php endif; ?>

Change that code to something like:

<?php if (isset($options["title_text"]) && $options["title_text"] != ""): ?>
    <?php icl_register_string('related_posts_pro', 'Header title', 'Related Posts'); ?>
    <legend><?php echo icl_t('related_posts_pro', 'Header title', 'Related Posts'); ?></legend>
<?php endif; ?>

Now, refresh one of the frontend pages where the Related Posts Pro plugin is active a few times to get this string registered.
Then if you open the string translations submenu on WPML, you should be able to see this string and translate it: https://i.imgur.com/CpBCnA2.png

Just one other question, how could I change the English “Related Posts” to something for example: “Recommended for you”
I didn’t see anything in the management console.

I will definitely give you a great rating on Codecanyon

Yep, it’s not there unfortunately, because it’s a get-around solution yet 🙂

Just change the text in the source code like so:

<?php if (isset($options["title_text"]) && $options["title_text"] != ""): ?>
    <?php icl_register_string('related_posts_pro', 'Header title', 'Recommended for you'); ?>
    <legend><?php echo icl_t('related_posts_pro', 'Header title', 'Recommended for you'); ?></legend>
<?php endif; ?>

As you can see there is two ‘Recommended for you’ strings there between apostrophes, that’s the default english text. Change that to anything you want. Once you are done, only then start translating, because I’m not sure if changing the text looses the translations or not.

Hi,

I changed it and then in WPML the translations were there, I simply needed to check “translation completed” and save for each language and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the great support.
