Hi I am using Ja Sugite. I want to change the “read more” text to something else here: http://markvis.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=8&Itemid=111
Any Idea where I can change it?

That language string appears a number of times in the package. To know exactly which you need to change I would need to know what you are displaying there. Are these custom modules, a portfolio layout, ja sidenews etc?
Having said that the easiest way to find language strings is to grep for them. If you are on a Linux host with command line access that is easy. Most do not however but there is the excellent wingrep tool (http://www.wingrep.com/) which is free to download. Simply have a copy of your site on your desktop and using wingrep search for the string you wish to find. In this case it is “Read More…” and it will show all the files tat contain that exact string. You can quickly find any string of text in all your files this way.
Thanks Phill, I am using a “Category blog” menu pointing to articles in a category
I have tried to locate it with “inspect element” and “firebug” without any luck. I will try out the wingrep though.
Thanks

I just did a wingrep on that template and the string appears 18 times in the languages folders. When you find the correct one best to copy the relevant string to your language translation and mage the change there. I am sure you knew that already.
😀 Ha ha, Phill I am just a regular greenhorn, but I will try to locate the string and change it. The question is: Is it normally located in an .ini file?
