Bad translation of more-link text (Penscratch 2 / dutch)

    Hi

    I am having trouble correcting a bad Dutch translation of the more-link that appears at the end of post summaries and that are used to go to the full post.

    Currently it says:

    'Lees meer over' (Eng: 'Read more about')

    Which is a wierd way to end -> read more about what exactly?

    It should just be:

    Lees meer (Eng: 'Read more')

    I tried the suggestion from https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More to add a function to funtions.php but I can’t change the file permissions for the theme through SFTP (getting an error navigating to the theme folder) and support won’t do that either.

    I know that the wording can be changed using the more block (which was the suggestion from support as well) but that seems a lot of work to do every single time we are going to post something…

    Does anyone have any ideas of what to do to make this a one-time (permanent) change? Or is there a way to change the translation through contact with a dev?

    Thanks a million!

    Hi @teerdekens! Honestly, if the translation itself is wrong, perhaps our best bet is to fix that.

    Would you be willing to submit your correction here?

    Regarding a change to functions.php, you might find yourself wanting to do that for other reasons. I’d recommend starting with a functionality plugin instead of editing functions.php directly. I haven’t used this one (as it’s been a while for me — we mostly provide support for free sites in these forums) but it might be a good start.

    Hi @supernovia

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have submitted a new translation and it’s waiting approval here.

    Also thanks for your suggestion of adding a functions plugin. I will certainly look into it!
