Title: Polylang strings in front-page.php Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Polylang strings in front-page.php * Resolved [coralepuccini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coralepuccini/) * (@coralepuccini) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-strings-in-front-pagephp/) * Hi, I’ve installed the plugin polylang and I was able to translate 90% of homepage strings. I don’t find the way to translate the main title of sections. I noticed that subtitle and content of section just are displayed on admin menù polylang and they are able to be translated, but main title is not recognized.The code of main title section in fron-page.php is this: * ’.$zerif_contactus_title.'’; endif; $zerif_contactus_subtitle = get_theme_mod(‘ zerif_contactus_subtitle’); if(isset($zerif_contactus_subtitle) && $zerif_contactus_subtitle! = “”): echo ‘
’.$zerif_contactus_subtitle.'
’; endif;? > * I create a translation string with pll_register_string for zerif_contactus_title in functions.php of theme, but when I add pll_e to echo codex the $zerif_contactus_title seems doesn’t work. * This is the function: * pll_register_string(‘contacts’, ‘$zerif_contactus_title’, ‘zerif-lite’); * Any ideas?

For example Contact section is customizable and default language is Italian. How I can add translation in English language? * Thread Starter [coralepuccini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coralepuccini/) * (@coralepuccini) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-strings-in-front-pagephp/#post-5800106) * Maybe I wrote the question in a bad way :). On customizer section I can change the text but I need to translate it in English language. I use plugin polylang that use string translation but I don’t find the way to translate, as I posted above, the $string “$zerif_contactus_title”. The others fields I was able to do but this one nothing * I appreciate help. * Thanks very much * [MariusG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marius_codeinwp/) * (@marius_codeinwp) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-strings-in-front-pagephp/#post-5800125) * Hello, * Are you having troubles with translating the Contact Us section only? Or are there any other sections as well? I have not worked with Polylang before, but I’ll look into it and be back with an answer 🙂 * Kind regards, Marius * [jeannettemeier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeannettemeier/) * (@jeannettemeier) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-strings-in-front-pagephp/#post-5800142) * Hi! We have the same problem: translations are defined but Main Titles remain in the original language (the first language in which the site has been created). The rest appears in the correct language. * In addition, as the menu custom settings should link to the site sections via URLs set as [http://sitename.com/#focus](http://sitename.com/#focus) or #aboutus,# team, etc, how do we link the menus according to the languages? In our case we have 2 menus (English, Spanish): both menus link to the same section of one specific language (in our case: English) since the URL is the same. But are we able to change it to e.g. #focus1, #aboutus1 and do any specific change in any of the php files so that it links to the specific section in the correct language? * Thanks! * Thread Starter [coralepuccini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coralepuccini/) * (@coralepuccini) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-strings-in-front-pagephp/#post-5800143) * Hi, I resolved the problem: follow exactly the steps below: * Open function.php in theme root and add at the end of lines these strings: * // About us translation pll_register_string(‘About Us’,’zerif_aboutus_title’,’ zerif-lite’); // Our focus translation pll_register_string(‘Our focus’,’zerif_ourfocus_title’,’ zerif-lite’); // Contact us translation pll_register_string(‘zerif_contactus_title’,’ Get in touch’,’zerif-lite’); // Latest news translation pll_register_string(‘ Latest news’,’zerif_latestnews_title’,’zerif-lite’); // Testimonials translation pll_register_string(‘Testimonials’,’zerif_testimonials_title’,’zerif-lite’); // Our team translation pll_register_string(‘Our Team’,’zerif_ourteam_title’,’zerif- lite’); * Go to Polylang main menù and make the necessary translation you need. * After open each php file section in the sections folder and replace the follow line with this: * **Old line** if( !empty($zerif_aboutus_title) ): echo ‘

’.__($zerif_aboutus_title,’zerif-lite’).'

’; endif; ?> * **New line** if( !empty($zerif_aboutus_title) ): echo ‘

’.pll__(‘zerif_aboutus_title’,’zerif-lite’).'

’; endif; ?> * Follow the above steps to each php section page replacing the $variable after class text into correct name without $. * **On contact us open front page.php and replace this line:** * $zerif_contactus_title = get_theme_mod(‘zerif_contactus_title’,’Get in touch’); if ( !empty($zerif_contactus_title) ): echo ‘

’.$zerif_contactus_title.'

’; endif; * **with this:** * $zerif_contactus_title = get_theme_mod(‘zerif_contactus_title’,’Get in touch’); if ( !empty($zerif_contactus_title) ): echo ‘

’.pll__(‘ zerif_contactus_title’).'

’; endif; * IT WORKS 🙂 * Thread Starter [coralepuccini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coralepuccini/) * (@coralepuccini) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-strings-in-front-pagephp/#post-5800144) * Look the site: [http://www.mariojannitti.com](http://www.mariojannitti.com) 🙂 * [tipadei](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tipadei/) * (@tipadei) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-strings-in-front-pagephp/#post-5800258) * Hi, * How could I get the subtitles to be translatable?
