Word replacement only works for English pages?
September 04, 2014, 02:14:19 pm
Hi,

There are some elements of CiviCRM forms that I'm not able to translate by the normal means, and I am attempting to use Word Replacement to create bilingual versions of them (eg Confirm Contribution -> Submit/Soumettre).  But the Word Replacement only displays on the English version of the form.

Is there something I'm missing?  Is there a way to get it to show up for both versions?

Thanks,
Laura

I'm pretty sure that word replacements only work on the original english string, but they ought to still show in other languages.

I think it's absolutely not clear that the word replacement only work on the original english string. It should be advised in the interface to avoid confusion.

Agreed. Can you supply a patch or PR with some help text for that screen?
