XF 2.2 Change 'Start Conversation' Word to 'Direct Message'

[Automotive101]

the whole 'Start Conversation' is very much lost in translation noting how many users reach for the profile post option !
wondering if it is as simple as changing the text in the language files ? to fix this.
Lets just call it 'Direct Message'

Might also update 'Profile Post' to 'Public Profile Post'

let me know wise ones of the forum, thanks

You could just rename the phrase "Start Conversation".

Yes I have changed a lot of phrases to use the term to direct message instead of conversation. There are a lot including in emails but it is doable.

Mind though, this is supposed to be changing in the core of 2.3 upgrade.

v2.3 get the pop corn !

i did notice it's in a lot of places

this might take the pressure off the wrong type of profile posts!!

Here's a few phrases to search for to begin with:

• Start new conversations
• You have no recent
• Start conversations
• Conversation info
• Conversation exporting (addon?)
• Leaving a conversation will remove it from your conversation list.
• Allow anyone in the conversation to invite others
• Lock conversation
• Prevent conversation starter from unlocking the conversation
• Invited members will be able to see the entire conversation from the beginning.
