How to translate "read more" in 3 col

Hi,

I have two querie, which I you wizards can solve for me:

1) How can I translate the read more text link in the 3 col boxes to my own language. I use the translate plug in but doesn't seem to work properly.

2) Is possible to reduce the space between the horizontal line (below the home page description) and the headings of the 3 cols (2 cols being off)?

Many thanks in advance!
