Hi guys (: I am using this theme and I want to make some parts Turkish. A reddit-ish theme for Discourse But I couldn’t find exactly where I can change these places. I’m using Discourse 14-day demo. I’ll publish it after these edits. [Ekran Resmi 2024-09-06 17.44.25] How can I do it? Thanks in…

I’ve just made an update to the theme that makes this text translatable. “replies” and “share” will use our default translations, so those should work automatically… and the rest of the text can be edited from the bottom of the theme’s settings page at admin/customize/themes

Those texts are hard coded into the theme. At them moment the omly way to change them is changing them in the code.

as i predicted, thanks! :index_pointing_at_the_viewer: Does the discourse need to be hosted on my server so that I can make changes to the code? More importantly, if I make changes inside the theme, won’t these changes be lost after the update?

Are you sure those are shown in the theme config? javascripts/discourse/components/sidebar-latest-topics.hbs b41bf56ec <h4>Recent Topics</h4> <div class="custom-right-sidebar_recent-topics" {{did-insert this.getLatestTopics}} …

[image] Moin: But the best solution is to actually make those strings translateable. @awesomerobot would that be pr-welcome ? Yes this is right, they’re not translatable until this is done. A pr to make this change would be welcome! Otherwise I can get to it early next week.

You’re the best Kris! :index_pointing_at_the_viewer: @awesomerobot When I was on the site, I saw the update notification live. I said, I wonder if it’s what I think it is? Yes! I’m new here and I’m curious. Why don’t you sell these themes for a fee? Or can’t you sell them? I haven’t seen anyone sel…
