Thanks for your quick response, @champsupertramp
I have checked the link above but it is a bit different. I am searching for a guide to change the Error messages such as ‘The email address is already registered’ etc. on the Log In form and Registration form.

I’m still unable to see the changes I made to the English translation files.
I’ve updated the error messages with the English translation files in https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1578-change-english-text-in-forms.
I copied the English translation files( ultimate-member-en_Us.po and ultimate-member-en_Us.mo) from /ultimate-member/languages.
2. Paste the translation files in /wp-content/languages/plugins/
3. Download the app http://www.poedit.net
4. Open the English translation file with ultimate-member-en_Us.po file in /wp-content/languages/plugins/ using the PoEdit App.
5. Saved the edited file in /wp-content/languages/plugins/
6. Left the orginal file in /wp-content/languages
Visited the page that contains the UM forms but the error message is still the default one. Am I missing anything pls?
Hi @maureeno
Were you able to locate the strings in the English translation file?
Could you please provide the exact strings that you’re trying to change?
I couldn’t find this in the UM plugin:
The email address is already registered

Thanks.
Yes, I was able to locate the strings in the English translation file. I’m trying to change(translate) the following source text:
This email is already linked to an existing account
Your username is already taken
Password is incorrect. Please try again.
Hi @maureeno
What’s your site’s default language? IS it en_US or en_GB?
Regards,
Hi @maureeno
Did you make the filename of the translation file to ultimate-member-en_GB.po instead of ultimate-member-en_US.po and then upload it to /wp-content/languages/plugins/ ?

In the folder 📂 /ultimate-member/languages, the files available are in en_US.po . I just checked again. My site language is in en_US.
I made changes to ultimate-member-en_US.po, saved it and uploaded it to /wp-content/languages/plugins/
Should I delete the original files ultimate-member-en_US.po and ultimate-member-en_US.mo in the folder 📂 /ultimate-member/languages
Hi @maureeno
Sorry for the late response.
Could you please tell us if you’re still having issues? Have you tried deleting the original files and replace them with the modified ones?
