Changing Specific Translations #

If you want to change eq specific translations eq Zip Code to Postal Code you can achieve this by creating custom_lang.php file, click here to read more about overwriting translation text.

The code sample includes changes to Zip Code, Vat Number, and State, we will update this article in case there are other more specific texts to be changed for country-specific needs.

Copy and paste this code into your custom_lang.php file, don’t forget to add the <?php opening tag at the top if it’s not already there.

 // Zip Code to Post Code 

 $lang['clients_zip'] = 'Post Code';
 $lang['client_postal_code'] = 'Post Code';
 $lang['settings_sales_postal_code'] = 'Post Code';
 $lang['billing_zip'] = 'Post Code';
 $lang['shipping_zip'] = 'Post Code';
 $lang['lead_zip'] = 'Post Code'; 

 // VAT Number to TAX Number 
 
 $lang['client_vat_number'] = 'TAX Number';
 $lang['clients_vat'] = 'TAX Number';
 $lang['company_vat_number'] = 'TAX Number'; 

 // State to Province 
 $lang['client_state'] = 'Province';
 $lang['clients_state'] = 'Province';
 $lang['billing_state'] = 'Province';
 $lang['shipping_state'] = 'Province';
 $lang['lead_state'] = 'Province';

Note that in future we may change this implementation and modify the language keys eq. to be used only one key for all areas eq zip_code will be applied for billing zip, leads zip etc.. you may need to re-visit this article in case your text is not longer applied, to check if is anything changed so you can apply the changes to your custom_lang.php file too.
