wet_babble: Override i18n language strings
PLEASE NOTE: This plugin is deprecated. It will not work in Textpattern 4.7+. Build your own textpacks instead, they are much crispier.
wet_babble is a Textpattern plugin which overrides a choice from the built-in text strings of your liking with alternate texts. Updating the core texts from the Textpattern language server won’t wipe out your custom texts any longer.

I’m sure this plugin is really useful somehow. Sorry for the noob question, but what is an example of a “built-in text string” that someone might want to edit with this plugin?

Destry had a use for it, so it came into existence.

Re: wet_babble: Override i18n language strings
I’m working on a site with a custom language file that requires tedious manual updates when I upgrade Textpattern, and wet_babble would be a much more manageable way to do this.
Unfortunately, I can’t get it to work.
Here is a sample of language arrays I added to the plugin:
'article_posted' => 'Record posted.',
'article_saved' => 'Record saved.',…but when I glance around the Textpattern UI, nothing seems to have changed.
Any pointers?

oh, this is a good one! for the longest time I was really bothered that every time I updated there was a couple of very oddly translated strings in the spanish lang file

Are you signalling that you aspire to be volunteered as a translator?

I extended the plugin to interfere with both the public and the admin side texts. wet_babble 0.2 should meet your requirements now.

On TXP Resources I described a very easy way to find the exact strings you need to enter in wet’s plugin (for admin side strings).
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Re: wet_babble: Override i18n language strings
Just found a problem by using this plugin. – but its not the plugins fault :)
I wanted to change the last user level name ‘none’ o ‘Member’:
1825 en-gb none public None 26/07/09 19:47
So I used:
‘none’ => ‘Member’,
but this also changes the button next to “select all” at the bottom of the image tab.
So I suppose the fix would be to create 2 language entries

@Robert
Thanks lot for your Textpack feature idea in TXP and this very efficient and clever wet_babble plugin!
Your little plugin solves an Url problem for a recent project and improves SEO with the use of categories: changing the generic “category” statement with a better relevant text while retaining the categories filter.
Just amazing :)
Best regards,
