Do the links, buttons and labels on your community not match your branding? Use our ‘Phrases’ tool to change certain text into something that resonates. 

A phrase is customizable text on your community platform. For example, if you wanted to change the “Log in” button to say “Lets go!” you would be changing the phrase. All phrases have a default setting, but almost all language on the platform can be changed. 

Usually, you can change text strings right on the community with our live edit too; however, some phrases need to be changed manually on the back end. For this, you can reference the articles below:

I checked the settings in my Profile and change has been accepted.

Thanks, I will have my colleagues check this users' settings / profile. From a first look I don't see anything special, but my colleagues probably will be able to find out why this happens.

Hi @Julian ,

How is it possible to modify the phrase related to the cookie banner?
In the French version we have a button called “Nier tous”, but actually it’s not relevant in french, as it should be “Refuser tous les cookies”.

 

Is there a way we could change this? Ideally it would be more relevant that you modify it for all of your clients on the french version as it is the effective wording used for cookie banners denial button.


Thanks


Hi @victorlacombe, sorry it took me a couple of days to find the right info for you.

The phrase which you need to add manually is the following:

Module: Forum

Key: cookiepolicy.button.deny

Then enter your prefered translation.

I will also pass it on to the team so that it can be adjusted for all languages, thanks for helping us here!

Let me know if you have problems or questions around adding the custom phrase yourself.
