Hi,
I’ve just upgraded to EE4 and used the Quick Localisation plugin to change words in EE.
Now I’m trying to change ‘Finalize’ to ‘Complete’ on the checkout screen but it’s not changing when I try to do it through the Quick Localisation plugin

Hi Andrew,
When translating strings you must translate the full string and can not translate part of a string so you’d need to translate ‘Finalize Registration’ rather than just Finalize.
However I’m assuming you mean you want to change ‘Proceed to finalize registration’ to ‘Proceed to complete registration’ is that correct?

Hi Tony,
I just tried that and still not working.
I’m trying to change ‘Proceed to finalize registration’ to ‘Proceed to complete registration’. (mainly because I’m in the UK and it’s the z I don’t like).
Have tried the whole phrase.
In the Quick localisation plugin I’m using the domain event_espresso, have also tried leaving it blank

You need to translate the exact string ‘Finalize Registration’, translations must match exactly and are case sensitive.
So quick localization should look like this – http://take.ms/hTEHw
The checkout page will then look like this – http://take.ms/dGJo8
Note for the change to be shown on the front end you can not simply refresh a current checkout session, there is some internal caching which will prevent your change from being shown. Visit the /registration-cancelled/ page to clear your session and start a new registration after adding the above.
Note quick localization is probably the least efficient out of all of the methods you can use as the string are saved to the database, meaning the strings need to be retrieved and applied to the site on each page load which adds more processing time, for a few translations I’d recommend using the Custom Function method shown here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/#custom-function
You add new lines such as 'original string' => 'translated string', to the list to have them translated.
For more in depend translations I would use the PO/MO files in place of both of the above.
