Change Enrol to Enroll

by Melanie Mornard - Thursday, March 4, 2010, 11:17 PM

I know this question was brought up before, but I'll be darned if I can find it again to get the answer now that I'm ready to implement the fix. How do I change the word "enrol" to "enroll" on my site?

You have to use a language pack.

Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly how to do it, and usually have to play with the site to find the location of the updates.

You do have to be the site Admin to make the change. Other than that, I believe it was just a couple of clicks.

Hope this helps.

Hi Melanie,

You can simply install the American English language pack (en_us) then choose it as the default language for the site. (Source: Enrollment FAQ)

Note that existing users will retain their language setting and will need to be changed if they want American English.

If they haven't changed their language (only en was the default so they had no other choices) will they automatically revert to en - us?

You can go directly into the database and use sql to change the language setting for all users.
