翻译wordpress中的文本

Question

I'm using WPML plugin to make my website multilingual and some of the text / button text can't be translate.

I have this code:

<div class="header-left">
    <div class="num">
        <strong>  Call us Now </strong>
        <a href="tel:[phone]"> +000000 </a>
    </div>
</div>

I have this block of code in wordpress php file.

How to add this as a string so i can translate it with WPML?

Answer 1

You have to put the text in a function like this :

<?php echo __('Call us Now', 'yourtextdomain'; ?>

or you can just do

<?php _e('Call us Now', 'yourtextdomain'; ?>

Then go to WPML and resync your theme or plugin where you have this text. (There is also an option to do that automatically)
