Translate text or html string inside a jquery file

    Hi to all.

    I have translated many strings of the wp theme I’m using with pll__ or pll_e in some php files.
    After several attempts, I can not translate this text string ‘Posts Loading …’ contained within main.js file.


    jQuery('.load-more a').click(function() {
    // Are there more posts to load?
    if (pageNum <= max && !loading) {
    loading = true;
    // Show that we're working.
    jQuery(this).text('Loading posts...');
    jQuery.get(nextLink, function(data) {
    // Update page number and nextLink.
    pageNum++;
    if (nextLink.indexOf("paged=") > 0) nextLink = nextLink.replace(/paged=[0-9]*/, 'paged=' + pageNum);
    else nextLink = nextLink.replace(/\/page\/[0-9]*/, '/page/' + pageNum);

    var items = Array();
    var $newItems = jQuery('.element', data);

    I tried to follow some tips on how to use php code within a js file, but I could not solve my problem.

    Thanks to anyone who can help me.

    Bye

    Of course if WordPress Support Forums in the future to provide a specific search in plugin threads, would avoid a lot of double requests.

    Hi!

    This is how Javascript is internationalized in WP:

    Hi Chouby,
    thanks for reply.

    I’m not a theme developer, for a client I’ve buy Studiofolio, very fine theme but developers did not provide i18n support for the internalisation.
    With several changes to the code I was able to add the second menu and make it multilingual site.

    As wrote, I’ve translated many strings of the wp theme using pll__ or pll_e in php files, but not being able to translate button text and button html text that using javascript function, any suggestions?

    I’ve translated many strings of the wp theme using pll__ or pll_e in php files

    Static strings should be translated with __() or _e() (and translations managed by .po/.mo files) rather than pll__() and pll_e() which are made for theme options.
    That’s a pity that themeforest accepts non internationalized themes. It makes it useless for more than a half of WP users.

    How is your enqueued your javascript file?

    Yes, indeed as it was conceived, the theme have limits of use for multilingual website.
    It had never happened before with other themes, but when I realized it was too late, I had already worked a lot in the customization.

    Anyway, back to the text can not be translated: is in the file main.js
    in particular, the text of the name of the button ‘Load More’ (which I translated string in the file front-page.php) when clicked, change name and displays html text ‘Loading Posts …’
    This text changing is run by jquery code and do not understand how I can translate it.
    I’ve tried using a php code embedded in the main.js file but it does not work.

    Thank you in advance for suggestions.
    Bye

    I’ve tried using a php code embedded in the main.js file but it does not work.

    php is executed by the server and js by the browser. It can’t work

    You need to find the php line which loads your main.js. It should use the wp_enqueue_script function (hopefully !)
