Details and Options[edit]
- Language Constant. The language constant you want to override.
- Text. The text that you want to have override the constant.
- Language. The language the constant is overriding.
- Location. Whether the language override is in the front or backend.
- File. The path to the override file for the language this is being edited with.
Search Text you want to Change[edit]
A language string is composed of two parts: a specific language constant and its value. For example, a typical string you might find in a language file might look like:
COM_CONTENT_READ_MORE="Read more: "
Here 'COM_CONTENT_READ_MORE' is the constant and 'Read more: ' is the value. You have to use the specific language constant in order to create an override of the value. Here, you can search for the constant or the value you want to change with the search field below and it will display a list of constants or values that match your query. You can then click on the constant to automatically inserted it into the form.
