• Hi

    I have used the plugin One Backend language, so the display of my website is in Chinese whereas the control panel is in English. I want to have the comment section in one of the page. However I am in a headache since the word “comment” is automatically translated as “迴響“. It is not suitable to the context. I would like to change to “意見“, How can I change it? Hey guys, doesn’t matter if you dont know Chinese character. I just want to know how can I change the word “Comment” in the title and the “words” inside the button-to-press sending the comments out.

  • You can do two things. That is make changes in the languages files, but I would not advise this since with every update they will be overwritten.

    The other options is to simply change your theme. Everywhere where comment is written you can replace the call to the translated version for a hardcoded one of your liking.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I tried the 2nd option but not works. Am I correct if I change the comments.php in the responsive theme which I am using? May be I have done something wrongly. Can anyone tell me which line(s) in that file I should make the changes?

    That entirely depends on the theme you are using, but usually it’s in comments.php indeed.

    Look for something like this:

    printf( _n( 'One thought on “%2$s”', '%1$s thoughts on “%2$s”', get_comments_number(), 'twentytwelve' ), number_format_i18n( get_comments_number() ), '<span>' . get_the_title() . '</span>' );

    Also in some themes I have, the number of comments are loaded without invoking comments.php ( which is only used to actually display comments ) .

    In overviews ( in this case my index.php ) you can find stuff like this:

    <?php comments_popup_link('Leave a comment', '1 comment', '% comments'); ?>
