    Hi Joe,

    Thank you for all your efforts and valuable contributions. I’ve learned a lot about accessibility because of you.

    There’s one thing I hope you can help me with.

    I don’t like translation plugins and I don’t want to use them. I just want to be able to edit and translate texts of my own choosing in my own words. My site is using the Genesis Framework and through Genesis Simple Edits and the use of shortcodes I’ve been able to edit and translate certain texts. But there are a few texts left that I haven’t been able to edit or translate yet.

    Then I read this about your plugin:

    “This plug-in doesn’t currently handle changing languages in the middle of content.”

    So my question is, do you know how I can change the language of certain elements of my website?

    The comment form for example has some texts I’d like to edit. The date and time which is shown in every comment is such a thing. I’d like to have that shown in my native language without changing the language in WordPress. Because I like working in English. Also the text ‘Reply’ underneath every comment is something I’d like to change.

    I hope you can help me find some answers to this. Your help is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you in advance!

    Sincerely,

    Hashim

    The easiest way to have the front-end translated and the back-end in English is to install all the appropriate language packs and set your language to that desired language, then add this code to your theme’s functions.php file:

    add_filter('locale', 'my_custom_locale');
function my_custom_locale($locale) {
    if ( is_admin() ) {
        return 'en_US';
    }

    return $locale;
}

    Best,
    Joe
