    Just add dots after the excerpt :

    echo '<div class="blog-thumbnail-context">';
echo '<div class="blog-thumbnail-content">' . mb_substr( get_the_excerpt(), 0, $num_excerpt ) . '…</div>';
echo '' . $translator_continue_reading . '';
echo '</div>'; // blog-thumbnail-context

    or

    <div class="blog-thumbnail-context">
 <div class="blog-thumbnail-content"><? the_excerpt() ?>…</div>';
 echo $translator_continue_reading;
</div>

    You could also add the dots only if the excerpt is longer than what you show like this :

    Just add dots after the excerpt :

    echo '<div class="blog-thumbnail-context">';
echo '<div class="blog-thumbnail-content">' . mb_substr( get_the_excerpt(), 0, $num_excerpt );
if(strlen(get_the_excerpt()) > $num_excerpt) echo '…';
echo '</div>' . $translator_continue_reading . '';
echo '</div>'; // blog-thumbnail-context
