override the text in buttons django admin
To override the text in buttons in Django admin, follow these steps:
Create a language file (
.po
file) to override the default text used in buttons. For this example, let's modify the "Save" button text.Locate the Django admin folder in your project. Usually, it can be found at
your_project/venv/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/locale/your_language_code/LC_MESSAGES
.Inside the
LC_MESSAGES
folder, create a file nameddjango.po
if it doesn't exist.Add the following content to
django.po
:
msgid "Save"
msgstr "Your Custom Text"
Replace "Your Custom Text"
with the text you want to display on the "Save" button.
- After making changes to the
.po
file, compile it into a.mo
file. You can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
django-admin compilemessages
- Restart your Django server to apply the changes.
This process allows you to override the default text used in buttons in Django admin by modifying the language file associated with the admin interface.
