  Hello,
  On the e-mails that my subscribers receive, under the title of the article, the word “by” appears. I would like it to be in French, that is, I would like to replace it by the word “par”. What would be the CSS form to do that?
  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can add a translation for that string through our translation project at translation.wordpress.com. I believe the string that needs to be translated is this one:

  http://translate.wordpress.com/projects/wpcom/fr/default?filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=136379

  Once you add a translation there, one of our language validators will go through and validate the translations and they’ll be deployed shortly after that.

  Shawna,
  When I click on the link you supplied me with (translation.wordpress.com), it says that it is no longer available due to a breach of the Terms of Service… ?

  That’s very strange. I’m not seeing that. Can you try again? And take a screenshot if you get that error message again? Upload the screenshot to your Media Library.

  Shawna… I see now what was wrong!
  The problem is that in your first response, you wrote (in the sentence, not the link) translation.wordpress.com instead of translate.wordpress.com. That’s what I typed… and that’s why I got that message…I should have just used the long link right away…
  So I just went onto the translate string and simply replaced the word “by” by the word “par”. I left the code that was surrounding it. That’s what I was supposed to do, right?
  Thanks.
  And now I just wait?…

  Whoops! That’s my error. Sorry about that. :)

  And yep! That’s exactly what we need. A validator will come around and validate the string soon, then it will be deployed. French is a pretty popular language, so this usually happens pretty quickly.

  Thank you. I’ve been wanting to get to this for the longest time. Was procrastinating. You made it easy.
  Thanks Shawna.
  If you don’t mind, I’ll wait before I close this topic… just in case I did something wrong. :)
