Hi Guys!

I would like to change the word "Category" that appears throughout to users uploading their images, to the word Folio, and the same for the word "Albums" to Folio Rounds.

I have a sneaky feeling that I need to do this in the english language file, am I right? And if so, how?

Thanks for your help. Coppermine's fantastic!

Search for the words you want to replace in lang/english.php.  I'm pretty sure what you want is in the $lang_cat_list array.  Make sure you replace only the words, and leave the quotes and other characters around the words as is.

You should avoid modifying the actual english.php.  Make a copy, call it something like "english-mod.php" and modify that file.  Then set your language to this new "language".  When making the modifications, add comments around your modifications with your initials or something unique so you can search your mods in the future.  That way, when you upgrade to newer versions of Coppermine, you can safely upgrade without overwriting your modified file, then apply the modifications easily to the new file.

This is assuming you don't let your users change the language.

An alternative is to use a diff app like Winmerge to compare the different versions and retain the modded lines.
