    Hi,

    I wanted to change some names in dutch from ‘listings’ to something else.
    However, I cannot change the text, without changing the plugin itself (and with every update, that will also get replaced again).

    Is there another way to tweak with the content? I tried changing what I could in the backend, but there are still things I can’t change.

    Hi @gwoman

    Thank you for reaching out about this. `Any string or label in the application can be modified with a translation file to be whatever you want it to be. 

    Although a translation file is traditionally used to change the language of a plugin, it also will change ANY string or label in the plugin (For example, you can change the word “Search” to “Find”) We have full instructions on how to do that here: https://awpcp.com/knowledge-base/translate-awpcp-native-language-modify-labels-awpcp/

    We do try to include as many translations as we can in the plugin, but we rely on native speakers to contribute those. If you are interested in being a contributor or a translator, please do let us know.

    You can see our progress on translations on ww.wp.xz.cn here: https://translate.ww.wp.xz.cn/projects/wp-plugins/another-wordpress-classifieds-plugin/

    Hi Bobbied,

    Thank you for your explanation. I followed everything described as in your first link, uploaded it to the specified directories, but nothing changed?

    What am I doing wrong?

    I’m sorry to hear that you ran into issues with this!
