Why am I not receiving more comments?

    Hi folks,

    I am experiencing an interesting problem with comments on my site. Because I am located in France, I have my blog in French. When a reader wishes to submit a comment, they click on the link under the article which reads “Laisser un commentaire”. That opens a page where a box appears with the words “Entrez votre commentaire…” printed in the box. Everyone can figure out that they type their comment there. The problem arises when they wish to post the comment. In English the button to post the comment reads, “Post Comment”. In French, it reads “Laisser un commentaire”, the exact same wording used to tell them to write a comment. So they don’t click on that button, because they don’t want to leave another comment, they just want to post or send in their comment. Were you to change the wording in the Post Comment button in French to read “Envoyer” (i.e. send, in English) everything would be perfectly clear to the French readers.

    Over to you.

    Hi Guy,

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. You can suggest an alternate translation for “Post comment” via Glotpress, on this page.
