Wording change at checkout - please help!

Post by Crabtree »

Hi - we have had Phoca Cart installed on our Joomla 4 website (superceding J2Store) and we have an issue with the wording at checkout - the final page before submitting payment prompts the customer to 'Finalize checkout'. This american spelling is a red flag to our customers who think they are being scammed - we desparately need to change this to the english spelling, finalise, but cannot find how to do this anywhere on Joomla dashboard. Please help!!!

Hi,

Use Language Override: The text string can be translated into any language.

Infos: https://docs.joomla.org/Help4.x:Languages:_Overrides
https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Language_O ... _in_Joomla

Search for your text to change accordingly.

Kind regards
Christine

Hi,

Maybe it would be helpful to see it live. Because it's somewhere hardcoded. Thank you.

Kind regards

It's not that easy, because there's a problem: A language string with the constant 'COM_PHOCACART_CHECKOUT_FINALIZE' does not exist in Phoca Cart. :idea:

Kind regards,

To change the wording from ‘Finalize checkout’ to ‘Finalise checkout’ in Phoca Cart on your Joomla 4 website, you can use the Language Override feature in Joomla. Here’s how you can do it:

Go to your Joomla administrator panel.
Navigate to Extensions > Languages > Overrides.
Click on New to create a new override.
In the Language Constant field, enter the constant used by Phoca Cart for the ‘Finalize checkout’ string. It might be something like COM_PHOCACART_CHECKOUT_FINALIZE.
In the Text field, enter ‘Finalise checkout’ to replace the American spelling with the English one.
Save your changes.
If you’re not sure about the exact language constant used by Phoca Cart, you can search for the text ‘Finalize checkout’ in the Overrides section to find the constant
