Hi there,

As a newbie, I succesfully set up a drupal site and I''m quite happy with it.

My question is:

How do I replace al occurences of the words "user account" on my site with some customized term such as "member account" or similar?

Thanks
Stephan

The best way, I believe, is to change it in the source. Do a search and replace on modules/user.module

Just use the locale module (it's included in the core distribution). Add a new "language" and then go to manage strings and search for "user account".

I'm really impressed by Drupal - this works flawlessly. And this is much better than editing source code, which I originally feared.

Thanks!

Could you please help with a mini, step-by-step?

I am getting confused because the add language tab shows a drop-down with languages and the custom language text field asks for an ISO country code as well.

  • Use the locale module (it's included in the core distribution).
  • Add a new custom "language", You don't have to care on how you set the language code. For example, set "en-modified" for language code and "English-modified" for the language name in english.
  • Go to manage strings and search for your string.
  • You then can edit whatever you want.

Enjoy.
