How to change default text for a module

[ManFromDet]

Forgive me is this is posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything after searching. If it is already posted, a link to the information would be appreciated. 

 

Is there a common procedure to update the default text within a given module?  Example:

 

 - "Featured Products" could be changed to "Featured Shoes" instead, if you're a shoe salesman.

 

 - "New Products" could be changed to "New Curtains" if you sell curtains online.  

 

I suspect that it would involve editing a given (php?) file on the sever. If there is a better way, please share. 

 

Thanks.

one of the great features of ps is translations not only by language but of existing text.

 

back office-->localization-->translations

 

select installed modules-->(core-no theme)-->select language you want to work with.

 

then ctl-f and find the text you want to change.

Thank you!!! I've spent the past month trying to overcome the PS learning curve as I setup my shop. This forum is absolutely helpful. 

 

Thank you once again!
