French term or phrase: en savoir plus
Just a general question:

"Find out more" vs. "learn more" about a product or service.
This term is used a lot on the client's website on on their menus for their television service on your tv/computer screen.

agree  Colin Rowe: Sounds fine in the context and is about the same length as the source text (relevant if appearing in fields of a defined size on the website). Or simply "More..." (also commonly used, e.g. on Wikipedia homepage)

more information


Explanation:
is what I would expect to see, otherwise "find out more" is fine, if a little colloquial.

"learn more"... I have doubts, sounds like eat more, study more, learn more (often). But that's just my opinion.

More


Explanation:
Just one word.

And it's the same label in any context on the site: more information, more menu options, more lines in the text box, and so on. Web designers in English like to keep it simple.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Colin Rowe: "To learn more, click here" (as used in your reference) sounds quite good. The addition of "about it" is unnecessary and awkward. "To know more about it" sounds unidiomatic. // I've looked and it still sounds wrong in this context.
