How do I modify the "view" link in a view? I'm sure this is a simple question when you know what you're doing, but I'm a bit puzzled.

At the moment, I have a view, from the views module, listing published articles on the front page of my site. After each article, there is a link "view" or "voir" (depending on the language being used) which takes you to the article. This is simply an anchor tag generated by thte Views module containing a link to the article node appended to the end of the item.

However, the person for whom I am making the site wants this link to be styled in a specific way, with an icon and the text to read "Read more" or "Savoir plus". How or where can I modify the HTML markup and text content for this particular element of the View module output?
In the 'Add fields' on your View, you can select 'Content: Link', which generates a simple link to your content. When configuring this 'field' you can set the 'Text to display' property and under 'Style settings' specify any CSS classes you want (see screenshot below).
