There is a problem with strip_desc in Chinese and Korean languages. They have sentences without spaces. It would be better to trim not words, but symbols. There is no spaces here and it’s correct.

Hi Ed,

Super RSS Reader already uses wp_trim_words to trim text of any language. Please see link below.

https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/super-rss-reader/trunk/includes/feed.php#L180

wp_trim_words trims even if the language uses single character as a word. See description below.

This function is localized. For languages that count ‘words’ by the individual character (such as East Asian languages), the $num_words argument will apply to the number of individual characters.

I do not understand east asian languages. Please give an example on what your are expecting. That would be helpful.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Ed,

As you have mentioned in the comments below

It’s not working with these languages. In these examples there is no spaces or a few of them. That’s why the plugin counts it as 1 word:

Thai language: 2 spaces, and 3 words as your plugin counts it.

It’s better to trim by characters and add this ability in the shortcode.

As I understand, in your case if strip desc is set to 50 then the content is more right ? You want it to be shorter as in some languages 1 word is longer.

In that case, can you please set strip desc to 3 or 4 ? so that the description length is smaller.

Please correct me if I misunderstood.

Thanks,
Aakash

I do it, setting 3 words, but sometimes sentences contain 1 long word.

I can’t reply here because the site doesn’t save the messages.

Your posts are caught as spam. Thats the reason.

Anyways, you can try the change below.

In feed.php, find and replace

$desc = wp_trim_words( $desc, $strip_desc );

with this

$desc = mb_substr( $desc, 0, $strip_desc, "utf-8" );

Thanks,
Aakash

Please, explain, what does this code do?

[Aakash Chakravarthy]

It will trim the desciption by characters and not by words.

[Ed Native]

[Aakash Chakravarthy]
