Form Fields[edit]

  • Language. Language for which the constant is overridden.
  • Location. Indicates if the override is created for the site (Frontend) or Administrator (Backend) client.
  • Language Constant. The language constant of the string you want to override.
  • Text. Enter the text that you want to be displayed instead of the original one. Note: There may be placeholders (eg %s, %d or %1$s) in the text which could be important (they will be replaced by other texts before displaying), so you should leave them in there.
  • File. Language overrides are stored in a specific INI file (as it's the case for the original texts, too). Here you can see in which file the current override is stored.

Quick search using search for text you want to change to find language constant easily. Example: Type 'new' ...
