Going through the forums, the only way I've found that the text on the "Read more" button could be changed would be through hacking the front-page.php file. Is there a more upgrade-proof way to do this?
Hello, No, there is only one way to change the "Read more" text from the home page. Go to the front-page.php file present in the theme directory and follow the instruction shown in the image given below. This will solve your issue. Or If you want to translate the whole theme, Then you can try Google Language Translator Plugin for this issue. Download it from the link given below and install it from the Plugins panel (Plugins ->Add New ->Upload) in your Dashboard. http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-language-translator/ Also check link for reference, I hope it will helps you http://www.inkthemes.com/make-multi-language-website-by-using-google-language-translator-plugin/08/
