‘Select a state’ not correct for Canada
November 09, 2012, 07:40:56 am
I have a profile where users can select a country then select another region that dynamically changes based on the country. In the United States it is a list of US states, for Canada a list of Canadian provinces/territories. The problem that I’m having is that no matter the country chosen the list starts with ‘select a state’. While this is fine for the US it is not appropriate for Canada (among other nations). Is there a way to modify that so that if Canada is chosen it will say ‘Select a province’?

Good point. Word replacements doesn't work for this, I tried.  I seems like this is a bug you should file at the issue tracker for fixing in 4.3.  Do you know how to do that?  Either it should say "select a state or province" or simply "select" .... or it should be eligible for the word replacements.
Try CiviTeacher: the online video tutorial CiviCRM learning library.

this seems more like a feature request / extension and seems related to the address formats and specifics of the work that erik hommel is doing:

might want to get in touch with him and help work on making the whole thing a reality for a future civi version :)
