Thanks for answer. Got it.
But there are some none translated words left.
For example:
“Continue Reading”, “X Comments” or “By Authorname”
In the german .po file in my language folder, there is everything translated.
Hope you can help me.
Greetings.

Hi Simoptimtheme !
If you want to translate the “Continue Reading”, “X Comments” or “By Authorname” in the DW Minion, Please do as the following:
+ Continue Reading : You can open the content.php file, find the line 10.
+ X Comments :  Please open the template-tags.php file, find the line 147.
+ By Authorname : Please open the template-tags.php file, find the line 108.
Hope this helps !

Hi Dominic, there are a few texts for which I cannot find where to translate them in the php files:
– for the comments at the bottom of an article, where can I translate the button “Post comment” + where can I translate the text fields (name, email, website, comment)
– the text in the search field “search” ?
– in the widget Last comments, I’d like to translate “on” (xxx on article X)
 
Thanks in advance!

–  button “Post comment”.
By default the comment form creates its submit button. There is no filter or action to change or remove it. But we can hide it using CSS and create a new one by hooking to other action. Please add the following code to the function.php file in the folder path “wp-content\themes\dw-minion”.

    add_action('comment_form', 'bootstrap3_comment_button' );
    function bootstrap3_comment_button() {
    echo '<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">' . __( 'Submit' ) . '</button>';
    }

After the changes we made above, we need to hide the default submit botton add custom styles to reduce the width of the input name, email and website. In this example we will set the width to 50%. We can add this style to the theme styles.css file.

.form-submit {
     display: none;
}
.single-post #comments .btn {
    float: right;
    padding: 3px 30px;
}

– To translate the text fields (name, email, website, comment).
You can add the following code to the Functions.php file:

    add_filter( 'comment_form_default_fields', 'bootstrap3_comment_form_fields' );
    function bootstrap3_comment_form_fields( $fields ) {
    $commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();
    $req = get_option( 'require_name_email' );
    $aria_req = ( $req ? " aria-required='true'" : '' );
    $html5 = current_theme_supports( 'html5', 'comment-form' ) ? 1 : 0;
    $fields = array(
    'author' => '<div class="form-group comment-form-author">' . '<label for="author">' . __( 'Name' ) . ( $req ? ' <span class="required">*</span>' : '' ) . '</label> ' .

    '<input class="form-control" id="author" name="author" type="text" value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author'] ) . '" size="30"' . $aria_req . ' /></div>',

    'email' => '<div class="form-group comment-form-email"><label for="email">' . __( 'Email' ) . ( $req ? ' <span class="required">*</span>' : '' ) . '</label> ' .

    '<input class="form-control" id="email" name="email" ' . ( $html5 ? 'type="email"' : 'type="text"' ) . ' value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author_email'] ) . '" size="30"' . $aria_req . ' /></div>',

    'url' => '<div class="form-group comment-form-url"><label for="url">' . __( 'Website' ) . '</label> ' .
    '<input class="form-control" id="url" name="url" ' . ( $html5 ? 'type="url"' : 'type="text"' ) . ' value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author_url'] ) . '" size="30" /></div>',
    );
    return $fields;
    }

add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'bootstrap3_comment_form' );
    function bootstrap3_comment_form( $args ) {
    $args['comment_field'] = '<div class="form-group comment-form-comment">
    <label for="comment">' . _x( 'Comment', 'noun' ) . '</label>
    <textarea class="form-control" id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="8" aria-required="true"></textarea>
    </div>';
    return $args;
    }

– To translate the search field “Search”, you can open the extras.php file in the folder path “wp-content\themes\dw-minion\inc”. Find the line 255.

<input type="text" placeholder="Search" id="s" name="s" class="search-query">

– To translate “on” (xxx on article X), you can open the default-widget.php file in the folder “\wp-includes”. Find the line 700.

$output .=  '<li class="recentcomments">' . /* translators: comments widget: 1: comment author, 2: post link */ sprintf(_x('%1$s on %2$s', 'widgets'), get_comment_author_link(), '<a href="' . esc_url( get_comment_link($comment->comment_ID) ) . '">' . get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID) . '</a>') . '</li>';

Hope this helps !
