I don't see any hook there, but you could use the gettext filter hook.
Adding the following function to your theme's functions.php should do the trick. Replace text-domain
with your theme's text domain.
if ( ! function_exists( 'my_gettext' ) ) {
function my_gettext( $translated_text, $untranslated_text, $domain ) {
global $pagenow;
if ( $pagenow === 'wp-comments-post.php' ) {
switch ( $untranslated_text ) {
case '<strong>ERROR</strong>: please fill the required fields (name, email).' :
$translated_text = __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: please fill the required fields (name, email).<br /><a href="javascript:javascript:history.go(-1)">Back to XYZ Article</a>', 'text-domain' );
break;
}
}
return $translated_text;
}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_gettext', 20, 3 );
The function looks for the `case` in wp-comments-post.php and replaces it with the `$translated_text`.
The downside is that we would normally not include HTML in internationalization functions, yet splitting it doesn't work.
So, the following would throw an error:
$translated_text = '<strong>' . __( 'ERROR', 'text-domain' ) . '</strong>:' . __( 'please fill the required fields (name, email).', 'text-domain' ) . '<br /><a href="javascript:javascript:history.go(-1)">' . __( 'Back to XYZ Article', 'text-domain' ) . '</a>';
UPDATE following Pieter's comment
Just for the record, with sprinf
it is indeed not necessary to include HTML in internationalization functions...
if ( ! function_exists( 'my_gettext' ) ) {
function my_gettext( $translated_text, $untranslated_text, $domain ) {
global $pagenow;
if ( $pagenow === 'wp-comments-post.php' ) {
switch ( $untranslated_text ) {
case '<strong>ERROR</strong>: please fill the required fields (name, email).' :
$translated_text = sprintf( __( '%1$s: please fill the required fields (name, email).%2$s', 'text-domain' ), '<strong>' . __( 'ERROR', 'text-domain' ) . '</strong>', '<br /><a href="javascript:javascript:history.go(-1)">' . __( 'Back to XYZ Article', 'text-domain' ) . '</a>' );
break;
}
}
return $translated_text;
}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_gettext', 20, 3 );
