September 19, 2014 at 10:26 am I have EE4 and WordPress 4, and i’m struggling to do some language localization. I am using english, so I’m not sure if I should be going over to grab files from github because I don’t see any “EN” PO files there, so I’m thinking No. This installation is for students to register for classes, so there’s no “tickets”. I think I will change it to “seats” and see how that works. (open to idea here). However I can’t figure out where to make the change. I’ve tried the quick localization plugin as well, but simply putting in Tickets and Seats didn’t seem to work. |
September 19, 2014 at 10:31 am Hi Mike, Could you give a gettext filter a try? https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#plugins Also, our language files are over on Glotpress but a gettext filter should be able to change the messaging: https://eventespresso.com/glotpress/ — |

September 19, 2014 at 10:53 am Than you Lorenzo. I followed your suggestion and I used to link there to make my own plugin so that I can always easily access the syntax from within WordPress. I also like that this will reduce the chance that EE upgrades will break my changes. Is there anything to be concerned about in doing this? |
September 19, 2014 at 11:32 am Hi Mike, Your customizations will be preserved on a software update if they are in a site specific plugin. — |

September 19, 2014 at 11:43 am What about on the registration page, such as …/registration-checkout/?ee=_register “Ticket Details” I was able to change without issue, but not “TICKET NAME AND DESCRIPTION” |
September 19, 2014 at 12:00 pm The gettext filter needs to include an exact match of the phrase which includes any spacing. This may not be immediately visible. However if you inspect the element using a free tool like Firebug or Chrome Developer Tools, then you should be able to see them. If you get stuck, please upload a screenshot to WP media and link to it here so we can take a look. Thanks! — |

September 19, 2014 at 12:31 pm Got it. I entered it as all caps because that’s how it was displayed but that was just a css transform. It should have been entered in lowercase. |

September 22, 2014 at 12:02 am Hi Mike, Is this resolved now? |

September 22, 2014 at 11:12 am Yes, if I encounter other areas where i’m struggling to customize the verbiage, I will checkin with another post. Thank you. |
