 * Hi everyone,
 * I am in the process of translating a theme ([dorsey](https://madebyminimal.com/dorsey)
   by minmaldesign).
 * I want to translate “Posted on” in the post header, but I can only find the “
   Posted”, not the “on”. Can that be hardcoded in the design? Or do I have to look
   somewhere else? If not, is there a workaround?
 * thanks, geb
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftheme-translation-missing-preposition%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * If the theme authors provide a valid POT ([template](https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/manual/templates))
   file in their theme you will be able to translate all the strings they have made
   available.
 * I can’t comment further because your theme is commercial. If you want to translate
   a particular string you will have to ask them how to do it, using whatever software
   they suggest you use.

 * Hi Tim, thanks for the swift reply!
    Sorry to ask again, but: does that mean 
   that I should be looking for the “on” in the Theme, not WordPress?

 * I have no idea what you should be looking for, or where. Please ask your theme
   support about how their theme should be translated.
