is it possible to change field titles. I am a UK user, I would prefer mobile phone to cell phone, county to state etc?

thanks…

@ Steve Redshaw

Here’s a link to several posts that have examples on how to do this. I hope this helps.

As per usual, thank you so much for a prompt solution, a great plug-in and great support.

I’ve just discovered another smart way to change terminology with the plug-in Quick Localisation.

Under the Edit tab of this plugin, enter (for example), Cell Phone in the box Old,  Mobile Phone in the box New and connections in the domain box (you have to enter the text you want to translate exactly as it originally appears, capital letters and all), then click Save.

This is perhaps convenient if there are several ‘translations’ you need to do or you’re not too keen on inserting php in the theme files…

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your additional comment about the Quick Localisation plugin.
I am currently trying to change Department: to Position: although the changes don’t seem to work.
I tried putting connections in the domain box and also, the domain URL for the page on which Form appears but to no avail.
Do you have any further suggestions as to what to do here?

Thanks,

Josh

Personally, I have not used the plugin, but the correct domain for Form is ‘connections_form’.

I couldn’t get the plugin to work so I tried some code and popped it at the bottoms of my functions.php file but still not working. Maybe I got something in the code wrong?

function josh_gettext( $translated_text , $text , $domain ) {
if ( $domain == 'connections_form' && $translated_text == 'Department' ) {
$translated_text = 'Position';
}
return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'josh_gettext', 20, 3 );

Cheers,

Josh

That looks right. Here’s the code that I just tested and it worked for me:

function josh_gettext( $translated_text , $text , $domain )  {
    if ( $domain == 'connections_form' && $translated_text == 'Department' ) {
        $translated_text = 'Position';
    }
    return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'josh_gettext', 20, 3 );

We are talking about Form, right?

@ Steven Zahm

Yep- I had to take the <pre lang=”php”> out otherwise it breaks the functions.php file.

Yes- Form it is. I have it enclosed in a Tab plugin (Squelch) although I can’t see how that would affect it.

I even tried modding the .pot file in the Lang folder and clearing the Cache but to no avail.

Not sure what to do next.

@ Josh Taylor

Not sure what to suggest. That code I pasted works for me. Make sure when you pasted it, none the characters were converted to HTML entities., for example the &&.
