Hi

I'm using Limesurvey for Spanish respondents and there are some messages that I would like to change from the Spanish version available at Limesurvey. However, I have not found them in the es.po file.

More specifically, I'm having trouble with a text string that is shown when no text is provided in an 'Other' textbox ("Si seleccionas 'Otros', por favor, explica tu elección en el área de texto que lo acompaña") .

I've looked for it thoroughly within the es.po file, but it is not there. I've also searched the forum and the documentation, but can't find how to modify this type of messages, other than the ones found in the .po files.

Thank you for any help in advance.

Have a quick look at the advanced settings of your question in case there is already an available setting for:

Label for 'Other:'

Thank you, Ben_V, but the message I need to modify is a validation error message that appears when a mandatory question has not been answered or there is something missing in the question, not the label of the field 'Other'.

Yes,

confirmed in the source code: seem to always use:
$othertext=$qattr['other_replace_text'])
sprintf($this->gT("If you choose '%s' please also specify your choice in the accompanying text field."),$othertext);
If it not work under some condition, please fill a bug report with a lss example file.

Merci, Denis. That piece of code seems to be the one I'm talking about.

Is it possible to modify it? If so, how and where could I find the Spanish string?

Encontrado!

Open your es.po file with poedit and look for 'accompanying' in the original strings

Merci beaucoup, Benoit!

That's the piece of code in the po that I was looking for... I didn't realise it was using a variable for other... and actually, I had already modified this string ;)

Sorry about the newbie question, but what do you mean with "being aware of updates"? The po file won't be automatically updated unless I run a version update, will it?

Thank you all for your replies.

It means that whenever there is an update of Spanish your changes will be overwritten.
Have a look at the manual! It is a really valuable source for information. Here some helpful links:
