Title: Overwrite texts Last modified: March 5, 2023 --- # Overwrite texts * Resolved [peterpan0815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterpan0815/) * (@peterpan0815) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overwrite-texts/) * Hi there, * I would like to change some of the texts displayed by the plugin which are not customizable using the editor. I understand that I can copy the file to my child theme’s folder but which one? * I would like to change file ./plugins/registrations-for-the-events-calendar/ lang/registrations-for-the-events-calendar-de_DE.moso I copied it to wp-content/ themes/sydney-child/rtec/lang/registrations-for-the-events-calendar-de_DE.mo * Is this correct? * Thanks a ton Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [roundupwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roundupwp/) * (@roundupwp) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overwrite-texts/#post-16530309) * Hey peterpan0815, * Actually for translating strings it’s best to use a plugin like Loco Translate: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/) This provides a nice UI and then will preserve the translations even if you update. Otherwise you would just want to keep the .mo file that you mentioned in the / lang folder. Adding it to your child theme will not make a difference in this case.If you’d like to submit your translations to us [on our website](https://roundupwp.com/support) we can see about including it in future updates.Let me know if you have more questions!Thanks,Craig * Thread Starter [peterpan0815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterpan0815/) * (@peterpan0815) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overwrite-texts/#post-16533294) * Hi Craig, I checked the german po-file and the texts I was talking of are already translated but these strings are not reflected on the UI. * Example: **inc/admin/class-rtec-admin.php:560** msgid “Already Registered Text” msgstr “\”Bereits Registriert\” Text”The whole block that can be opened by clicked on that text is in English only. If I would like to correct/change this, where do I need the file to? * Plugin Author [roundupwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roundupwp/) * (@roundupwp) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overwrite-texts/#post-16534586) * Hey again, Let me take a look and see what might be going on and make sure there is no error. I might need you to contact me on our website to supply your system info if I can’t determine a cause. I’ll let you know soon!– Craig * Plugin Author [roundupwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roundupwp/) * (@roundupwp) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overwrite-texts/#post-16538065) * It looks like everything is working properly with the settings and this string in the latest version of the plugin. Can you check what value is saved for the setting that is related to this text? The setting is found on the “Form” tab: [https://snipboard.io/FoaZqx.jpg](https://snipboard.io/FoaZqx.jpg)– Craig * Thread Starter [peterpan0815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterpan0815/) * (@peterpan0815) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overwrite-texts/#post-16566006) * Hi Craig, * I solved that one. Now the following texts are missing and I cannot find the location where to overwrite the English text: * Check your email inbox for an unregister link. (in Cancel registration section of form) Cancel My Registration (embedded in mail, I found the setting but it does not seem to take my value) * Thanks for any hint * Thread Starter [peterpan0815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterpan0815/) * (@peterpan0815) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overwrite-texts/#post-16573670) * As you can see I have set values for these two attributes but they are not being used: * [URL=https://www.directupload.net][IMG]https://s20.directupload.net/images/230319/ 5pp8zjks.png[/IMG][/URL] * ![](//s20.directupload.net/images/230319/5pp8zjks.png[/IMG][/URL]) - This reply was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by [peterpan0815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterpan0815/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by [peterpan0815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterpan0815/). * Plugin Author [roundupwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roundupwp/) * (@roundupwp) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overwrite-texts/#post-16573807) * Hey again peterpan0815! I have figured out the problem here. We will push out an update by Tuesday of this week with fixes!

There is one message text left, which still shows the English version without a possibility to change: “No record found.”. This happens if you click the unregister link in the unregister mail for a second time. * Thanks & have a nice Sunday! * Plugin Author [roundupwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roundupwp/) * (@roundupwp) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overwrite-texts/#post-16608360) * Ahh yes I suppose that one is not tied to a setting at this time. I’ll make a note for a future update! Otherwise I know it’s set up for translation so you could use another plugin like Loco Translate to translate it as well.
