# How do I translate words, or change words on the frontend?

# Translate or rename frontend wording

You can change every label (buttons, column headings, placeholders, etc.) without editing code.

## Open the Wordings modal
1. Edit any calculator in wp-admin.
2. Click the **Wordings** icon in the builder header (admin/views/adminHeader.php renders it inside the dropdown).
3. The modal lists every string grouped by context (Buttons, Totals, Email Quote form, Detailed List, etc.).

## Update a phrase
1. Locate the string you want to change (e.g., "Email Quote", "Subtotal", "Tax").
2. Enter the translation or alternate label.
3. Save. The change is stored per calculator so you can localize each embed independently.

## Tips
- Use this feature to rename buttons (e.g., change "Email Quote" to "Submit"), swap "Tax" for "VAT", or provide multilingual labels.
- Pair with WordPress multilingual plugins if you need per-language calculators; each calculator can have its own wording set.
- The dedicated "Translation Feature" article still covers advanced workflows (exports, multi-language sites), but most updates can be done directly inside this modal.

No template or code edits required – just update the Wordings list and publish your calculator.
