• Hey peeps,

    Maybe a stupid question, but I want to translate the words “next page” and “previous page” into Dutch, on http://www.tonymoore.nl but I can’t find the file in wich I can edit that.

    Help?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Well, might be a few different places…. first question: are you using the Dutch language file? If so, I wonder why is it not translating those particular words? If not, have you tried it?

    Otherwise:

    In index.php, toward the bottom, you’ll find a div with a class of “nav” (or possibly “navigation”). Inside that you’ll find div’s for Previous Entries and Next Entries, those are the words you want to change. CHANGE NOTHING BUT THOSE WORDS; don’t mess with ANYTHING else inside those parentheses!

    You will find a similar area needing changed in archive.php. And this is all somewhat theme-dependent – it may vary according to the theme you’re using.

    Hi andersson. Most themes I’ve seen has the text in the index.php file. The texts are sent as arguments to the
    next_posts_link() and previous_posts_link() functions.

    In the default theme the function calls embedded in the php tags looks like this:
    <?php next_posts_link(‘« Previous Entries’) ?>
    <?php previous_posts_link(‘Next Entries »’) ?>
    You only have to change the text here.

    Thanks for your replies, but I can’t find the lines you’ve mentioned. I even did a search for “»” in the index.php file, but nothing came up. (I’m using the Connections theme by the way)

    @ vkaryl: Nope, I’m not using a Dutch language file, I manually translated everything. A language file would be easier, i know, but I had fun doing it manually.

    Anyway, if you have more suggestions I’d be greatfull.

    Regards,
    Tony

    Nope, I’m using this theme: http://www.vanillamist.com/blog/

    My link goes to the Codex page for the posts_nav_link() template tag, not a theme…

    Soz, I’m a nub. Just tell me the php-file to look for. I tried your link, and clicked all, but came up with nothing.

    There should be a php-file where the lines ‘next page’ and ‘previous page’are listed, right?

    The link above is a link to the online manual of the WordPress, called Codex. [Today it was not behaving, it was down for quite a while…]
    On the Codex page Kaf linked to there is a detailed explanation of the template tag referred to.

    There should be a php-file
    In your theme or in WP? No.

    EDIT. You mean where to llok for the code? Probably in the index.php file of your theme.
