Built for organizations whose vocabulary is not Orgo’s: scouts, not members; patrols, not groups. Replaces explaining to every new member that “Local Center” means “troop”. The Texts page holds a list of text replacements. Each row pairs a phrase Orgo ships with the phrase you want in its place, and you fill in one replacement per enabled language. Anything the interface displays can be replaced this way, not just a fixed vocabulary list. Text Replacements page with four saved rows, each pairing a System Expression EN value (Unit, Units, Local center, Local centers) with a Custom Expression EN field holding the replacement (Team, Teams, Chapter, Chapters), a remove cross on every row, and the Add Text Replacement and Save buttons above Settings → Customization → Texts
Requires ADMIN_TENANT. This page is called Texts in the app; the underlying setting is the tenant’s label overrides.

​
Adding a replacement

1

Click Add Text Replacement

A search panel opens over the page.
2

Search for the phrase you want to change

Type part of the phrase. The search matches both the translated phrase you see in the app and the underlying English source phrase, so searching in either language works. Results are shown with the English source in brackets when it differs.
3

Tick every phrase you want to override

The list is multi-select. Tick as many as you need in one pass; the button shows the count. Phrases already in your table are skipped with a warning instead of being duplicated.Add Text Replacement panel searching for local center, listing the matching interface phrases as checkboxes, with the capitalised and the lowercase form of the same phrase both ticked so the footer button reads Add (2)
4

Fill in the Custom Expression column

Back on the table, each new row shows System Expression (Orgo’s wording, read-only, in your current interface language) and one Custom Expression column per enabled language. Type your replacement in each.
5

Save

Click Save. The new wording takes effect straight away for you, without a page reload. Other members pick it up the next time their session loads translations.
Leave a Custom Expression blank and that language keeps Orgo’s wording. You do not have to fill every column.

​
What a replacement covers

A replacement swaps one phrase everywhere that exact phrase is used in the interface. It changes display text only: no data, permission or route changes behind it.
Because the same phrase is replaced everywhere it appears, a short common word is risky. Replacing “Group” changes it in the sidebar and also in every sentence that happens to use it. Prefer replacing the specific phrases you actually see wrong.

​
Working with several languages

The table shows one Custom Expression column per language you enabled under Languages. If multi-language support is off, there is a single column for the organization’s default language. The search panel builds its list from the English source catalogue merged with your organization’s default language, so a phrase stays findable even when it is only present in one of the two.
Enabling a new language later adds an empty column to every existing row. Until you fill it, members using that language see Orgo’s wording, not yours.

​
Common replacements

Singular and plural are separate phrases. So are capitalised and lowercase variants. Search broadly and tick all the forms in one pass.

​
Removing a replacement

Click the x at the left of the row, then Save. The row disappears and Orgo’s own wording returns. Clearing a single language’s field and saving reverts just that language.

​
Troubleshooting

Those places use a different phrase. Orgo’s catalogue holds separate entries for singular, plural and differently capitalised forms, and longer sentences are stored whole rather than assembled from words. Search for the exact text you see on screen and add that as its own row.
Correct, and not fixable from this page. Emails are rendered server-side from templates that do not read text replacements. Adjust the wording in the email templates instead.
Search a distinctive fragment rather than the whole sentence, and try the English wording as well as your own language. Phrases that come from your own data (a group name, an event type, a custom field label) are not in this catalogue: edit them where they were created.
Your own session updates immediately. Other members reload translations on their next page load or session start. A hard refresh clears it for anyone stuck.
Nothing prevents that, and it is a real risk. If you rename both Groups and Local Centers to “Teams”, nothing in the interface distinguishes them any more. Keep replacements distinct.
