Hello @Aznur,

In order to remove the language label, you will have to manually modify the PHP.

You can see this forum thread for more details:

An alternative solution is doing the change at template level:

Improve galleyLabels for multilang journals

Enhancement Try Me

****Describe** the problem you would like to solve** The way the label of a gal…ley is created (and the presentation) needs to be improved to fit better in multi-language journals. Right now, if user's $currentLocale (navigation locale) is the same as the galley lang, you only get the label but, if is different, the locale of the galley will be concatenated after, getting labels as follows: - PDF (English) - PDF (Español (España)) There are three problems here. To start, the variable $galleyLabel that you can reach in galley_link.tpl is filled with "ArticleGalley::getGalleyLabel()" that is a wrapper method that automatically appends the language, hardcode the parenthesis... and this limits what you can do on the presentation layer. Second, the logic behind adding those locales (hidden in currentLocale and forced in the rest) is not necessarily the way journals would like to work: - Some would like to add labels to every galley (even is the same than currentLocale). - Others would like to hide locale part (and manage locale manually in the galley form). - And rest would like the way is working now. Finally, the locale naming is taken from locales.xml in registry and is the same for galleys, language selector, etc. when is not difficult to find scenarios where you would like to have different mapping for each part. For instance, I like to have galleys with shorter equivalences as follows: - English --> EN - Spanish --> ES - French --> FR - Catalan --> CAT **Describe the solution you'd like** - Harcoded parenthesis probably need to be moved a theming level. - Multilang logic probably need to be set in the journal's configuration. - Unsure about how to find a simple solution about the "locale naming"... **Who is asking for this feature?** I think every journal publishing multilang galleys would be happy with an improvement in this.

I like this solution best because you don’t need to modify OJS code and it let you easier upgrades.
