The way to translate the source before translating it would be that I’d need to write the whole plugin in *your* native language. I like you (and all my customers) but I’m fluent in several programming languages and English (I’m working on Spanish) but I’m not going to be able to provide multiple pre-translated codebases. * Translation is the way to go and while it is a bit inconvenient I really can’t provide you with any other solutions. * Sorry, * Thread Starter [jstead](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jstead/) * (@jstead) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/built-in-string-editing/#post-10163341) * Ok, makes sense. Just wasn’t sure if there was a field to edit it in the source language. I found the first phrase **You must enroll in this course to access course content** under Course > Restrictions for instance. * Can the section of code that generates the phrase**The lesson “%1$s” cannot be accessed until the required prerequisite “%2$s” is completed..** for instance be overwritten with a template file like some of the other items? * I want to test my own conditional loop based on how many lessons are “skipped” during prerequisites, so that - The lesson “Lesson 3” cannot be accessed until the required prerequisite “ Lesson 2” is completed - The lesson “Lesson 2” cannot be accessed until the required prerequisite “ Lesson 1” is completed * maybe becomes * > The Lesson “Lesson 3” connect be accessed until the required prerequisites “ > Lesson 2” and “Lesson 1” are completed. * Thanks, Jason * [Thomas Patrick Levy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomasplevy/) * (@thomasplevy) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/built-in-string-editing/#post-10176020) * [@jstead](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jstead/), * What you actually want to do here is filter the output on the error messages output by prerequisite restrictions. * The reason we don’t already do this is that this error message could get *really massive* * Imagine the error message for lesson #25 if each lesson has the preceeding lesson as the preq… * In any event, if you want to pursue this you’ll want to look into using the filters found in this function: [https://github.com/gocodebox/lifterlms/blob/master/includes/class.llms.template.loader.php#L210-L231](https://github.com/gocodebox/lifterlms/blob/master/includes/class.llms.template.loader.php#L210-L231) * Hope that helps you move in the right direction and let me know if you have any other questions!
