Locating a term to be translated; translating venue url term

[Sean]

Hi! We want to translate some terms in the various plugins. Is there a way to use Chrome’s Dev tools to inspect a term on the front-end to determine which source text we should change in the .po file (as some terms occur multiple times across the respective plugin’s language files.

Also, is it possible to change the “venue” term in the Venue urls (e.g. http://www.example.com/venue/example) by editing a certain source text in one of the .po files?

Thanks,
Karly

Hi there Karly,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! I’ll help you out 🙂

To change venue slug you can use the function below:

Regarding translations, most code editor have a ‘search in folder’ function. I use it to find strings and functions names inside our plugins folders. Keep in mind some translations use ‘placeholders’! Personally I find this plugin super useful for overriding strings → Say what?

Hope that helps,
Have a great weekend,
Nico

Hi Nico,

Thanks for the plugin suggestion and for sharing Barry’s function to change the venue slug. I noticed that the function was written back in 2015. Is the hook used still the best to use or does the latest version of Events Calendar PRO have a better hook for rewriting the venue slug?

Thanks again and hope you have a great weekend as well!

Thanks for following up Karly!

This still seems to best way to do this, and it’s working with latest version of The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO.

Please let me know if it works for you (remember to re-save permalinks after pasting the snippet),
Best,
Nico
