Change 'Log in' tab to say 'Sign in'
Hi, does anyone know how I can change the tab which says 'Log in' (the tab in-between 'Create new account' and 'Request new password') to say 'Sign in' instead? Thanks, Laurence.
Hi Laurence, I find the easiest way to change the interface text is to 'translate' it. This can be done by using the drupal admin to create a new 'language'. I create one called en-GB (British English), as it is not possible to make another plain 'en' language as that is used by default (you could also use 'en-US'). After a new language has been created use the 'manage strings' to search for and 'translate' the text you want to change. Cheers, Ross. Laurence Mercer wrote:

Laurence, There are two ways that I can think of: 1. Locale Module: In my usage of it, it seems like a bit of overkill but it does work. I've found that if you don't need the multi-lingual capabilities, then this can create ALOT of extra database calls. 2. StringOverrides Module: (http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides) I haven't use this yet, but it looks like a good way to go. It's supposed to be lighter then using the locale. Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions guys. I've gone with the string overrides module which seems to do a great job and is very easy to implement. On Feb 18, 2008 2:28 PM, Brent Hardinge <design@bibleinfo.com> wrote:

There was a post on planet drupal about this less than 24 hours ago: http://www.innovatingtomorrow.net/2008/02/18/removing-and-altering-tab-names...
