Customize Text Labels

The steps for customizing text labels in this article are recommended for isolated changes when only a few labels need to be changed. For extensive changes (for example, to replace every instance of Program with Package), PeopleFluent recommends using a custom.properties file. For more information about multi-language support for the LMS, please see the Multi-Language Support Guide in PeopleFluent support site.

You can customize individual text labels (strings) in the LMS user interface for a specified language (locale). For example, you might want to change the My Profile label in the user menu to read View My Profile.  This change can be made using the Customize Language String feature.

When you update a text string it is saved in the database associated with the selected language, and takes precedence over the same label key value in any language files used by the LMS (for example, standard.properties).

To search for and customize language strings your role must have the Allow Custom Language String Editing permission.

Update Label Text

  1. Go to Manage Center > System > System Utilities > Search/Customize Language Strings.
  2. Begin by searching for the appropriate string:
  1. In the Language field select the appropriate language.
  2. Optionally, enter a value in the String Key field.  This field will search on the label.key, which uniquely identifies the text label.
  3. Optionally, enter a value in the String Text field. This field will search on the label text (My Profile in our example).
  4. Click the Show database configured strings only? checkbox to view only lnguage strings that have already been updated and is therefore saved in the language database.
