Is it possible to rename the field labels of fields such as username, friends/friendslist, messages.....?
Im wantint to make my website pretty unique ;-)
Hey Julie,

Yep, certainly and all of these changes can be done from the language file located at /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_easysocial.ini. Ideally you should follow the guide at https://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/languages/creating-language-overrides to create language overrides

Hummmm...I will certainly be trying that tomorrow :-)

Do you happen to know if I change for instance Username to be Stagename, AND our site is global so has multilanguages installed, will it correct it to the users chosen language?

If you don't know, I'll find out when testing it tomorrow.

Yep, that is correct Julie. This is an example:

en-GB
COM_ES_SOMETHING="Stagename"

es-ES
COM_ES_SOMETHING="Staçßame"

fr-FR
COM_ES_SOMETHING="Staçøame"

PS Can you just clarify if I have to specify the constants, add/amend the text and save it, for each language we have installed??
I.E. So far, there are 17 constants that I have found and created entry's for that reference the label USERNAME (EN-GB), will I have to create an Override for these 17 for each language?
