 * My directory has definitions not names. Can I get rid of or change references
   to “names” like in these places in particular?
 * “There are currently 3 names in this directory”
    “Submit a name” etc.
 * change to “There are currently 3 definitions in this directory”
    “submit a definition”
   etc.

 * Hi Csut,
 * you can’t in the settings. There is a nice workaround though!
    If you know how
   to work with translations (see [https://poedit.net/](https://poedit.net/)) you
   can change the English translation to do so. Might that be option?
 * If it is for you, I can provide a little more detail on how to proceed.
 * Kind regards,
 * Jeroen Peters

 * Yes, I didn’t forget. I wanted to make you an extensive sample but I got taken
   away. I am at my computer for a few minutes, so I hope this short answer will
   do.
 * You can use [https://localise.biz/help/wordpress/translate-plugin/beginners](https://localise.biz/help/wordpress/translate-plugin/beginners)
   as a good starting point.
 * My .pot file, which you need, is found at wp-content/plugins/name-directory/lang/
   name-directory.pot
 * When you add a new language, please choose English. This way you can choose to
   translate only the strings with contain “name”. The rest of the translatable 
   strings will work just fine in English if you don’t choose to translate.
 * I hope that will work. Please let me know!

 * Thanks, Jeroen.. that is a different site than what i’m using your plugin for.
   I was able to change the names just fine – thank you! I may have to start a different
   thread because now i’m having trouble importing a CSV file. I click import and
   it tells me some were already there/replaced, but I’m not sure where that info
   is now. It’s not in the only directory that I have — any idea?

   PHP and WordPress version you are using?

 * Hi csut,
 * I fixed this yesterday in version 1.7.8. I knew there was another place where
   someone mentioned this and it was this thread. It’s best to create a seperate
   thread for every bug you find and also search the forums.
 * Please keep in mind that I maintain this plugin in my spare time and that no 
   one pays me to do this (but you are very welcome to, make a donation or write
   a review/rating). One week on the calendar means just a few hours spare time 
   that I can choose to spend on this.
 * Having said that. I’m confident that, if you update to 1.7.8, you can import 
   your CSV file. Please let me know if it worked.
 * Kind regards,
 * Jeroen

 * Hi Jeroen, that did let me import my csv from excel, but for some reason half
   of them are missing. It said I successfuly imported 81 entries, but it only shows
   41, it seems to be random as to which names it’s not showing.
