[SOLVED]Changing lock/unlock text

[Eggllo]

Hi all,

Is there any way to change the system text from "lock" to "locked" and from "unlock" to "unlocked" when you are looking at ticket information or a ticket overview? It may seem like a silly thing to want to change but it's been confusing some users of our system.

I tried changing to a different language and translating lock to locked (we use en, so changing to en_CA wouldn't have really had much of an effect other than this) but that didn't seem to do anything. Is there anywhere this could be customized?

Thanks

Did you try to add those changed values in a custom translation file?

I did, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Would it be correct that I made an en_Custom.pm with my custom translations inside of it?

Code: Select all

package Kernel::Language::xx_Custom;

use strict;
use warnings;

use vars qw(@ISA $VERSION);
$VERSION = qw($Revision: 1.4 $) [1];

sub Data {
    my $Self = shift;

    # $$START$$

    # own translations
    $Self->{Translation}->{'Lock'} = 'Locked';
    $Self->{Translation}->{'Unlock'} = 'Unlocked';

    # $$STOP$$
    return 1;
}

1;

Update:

I just realized my stupid mistake when I posted my last reply. I somehow managed to forget to change the package name for my custom translation. After changing that everything works perfectly. I also removed

Code: Select all

use vars qw(@ISA $VERSION);
$VERSION = qw($Revision: 1.4 $) [1];

and added

Code: Select all

use utf8;

Thanks for the help reneeb.

Just wanted to point out that the logic behind the scenes may want the verb to be "Do this" versus "is done", unless you want to say "Make it be this".

Hi cynthias,

I actually realized this afterwards myself, but OTRS seems to have kept the two separate by using Lock vs lock and Unlock vs unlock, so I was able to get the result that I wanted by changing the translations a bit and only modifying the lowercase versions.

Code: Select all

$Self->{Translation}->{'lock}   = 'Locked';
$Self->{Translation}->{'unlock}   = 'Unlocked';
