How to prevent translation of the 'Like' button.

The text of the ‘Like’ button on my posts is automatically translated to Greek and appears as ‘Μου αρέσει!’

Here’s the HTML: <button type=”submit” class=”inlineBlock _2tga _89n_ _8j9v” title=”Μου αρέσει!”>

I assume it’s translated because I’m in Cyprus, which is Greek speaking.

Is there a way I can prevent ‘Like’ being translated?

TIA

Hello Bettina

Thanks for getting back to me. I’ve taken a screenshot showing the translation issue as requested at https://imgur.com/a/c2kvstd

Hello Bettina

Changing the Facebook language as suggested will not help as it will only change the language I see. I want the the button to display ‘Like’ regardless of the language native to the country of where my articles are read.

Thanks

Thanks Bettina

I have looked through the Greek translation for the word “Like” in Newspaper -> Theme panel -> Translations -> .

It shows “Κάντε Like”, which is a bit strange ??

An alternative would be to hide the text on the “Like” button so it only shows the ‘Thumbs Up’ icon. (I’ve seen this on several websites.)

Any thoughts on how I can do this?

TIA

Hi Bettina, The problem is apparent on https://tagdiv-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/tagdiv.com/whats-new-in-the-newspaper-theme-10-4-update/?amp as well as my website.

I used the TOR browser to take the first shot. As you will see the text of the like button has been translated into French as “J’aime”

I used the Firefox browser to take the second shot. As you will see the text of the like button has been translated into Greek (as I reported earlier) as ”Μου αρέσει!”

Perhaps you can investigate this as the problem is clearly not with me.

Thank you
