Translate “Posted on” and “Posted in”

Hi Eirik

To translate your theme you’ll need to create a child theme: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes. Here how your style.css file can/should look:

/*
 Theme Name:   Portal Child
 Author:       SiteOrgin
 Template:     portal
 Version:      1.0.0
*/
@import url("../portal/style.css");

Create a functions.php file within your child theme and insert the following into that file:

<?
// Make the theme translatable
function portal_child_set_text_domain(){
load_theme_textdomain( 'portal', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' );
}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'portal_child_set_text_domain', 15);

Add a languages folder to your child theme.

Now download http://poedit.net/. Use the portal.pot file in the portal languages folder to translate your theme. Save the translation in your language code, for English US it would be en_US. Poedit will create a .mo and .po file with the name you provided. Put those two files in the languages folder of your child theme.

Finally change the langauge variable in the wp-config.php file of your WordPress root to your language code, the same code you saved your files as, eg, en_US:

define('WPLANG', 'en_US');

If required you will find more detailed tutorials online to assist with this process.
