OJS 3.0.2.0 Wording Change

Hi @Tuwpub,

The “Abstract” wording appears in a number of places. When I’m trying to change wording, I typically use grep a lot – if you’re not familiar, it’s a handy search tool. For example, I can run…

grep -l -i abstract locale/en_US/*.xml lib/pkp/locale/en_US/*.xml

…which gives me…

locale/en_US/author.xml
locale/en_US/emailTemplates.xml
locale/en_US/locale.xml
locale/en_US/manager.xml
locale/en_US/submission.xml
lib/pkp/locale/en_US/bic21subjects.xml
lib/pkp/locale/en_US/common.xml
lib/pkp/locale/en_US/reader.xml
lib/pkp/locale/en_US/submission.xml

Then you can look through these for likely keys to try changing.

If you’re working on a development installation, one way to quickly check what locale key of many is the one you’re looking for is to create a fictitious language in registry/locales.xml, install it into your journal, then try switching to it. Because there are no locale keys, the key names will be ##displayed.like.this##. Then you know exactly what you’re looking for.

Note that changing the built-in locale files isn’t always the best approach – it’ll affect every journal on your installation. If that’s not what you want, there’s also the Custom Locale plugin; note that this is currently a work in progress.
