Hello Petra,

The language files are now in a public Github repo (https://github.com/eventespresso/languages).

You can follow these instructions on modifying text with Poedit: http://staging.eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-change-wording-with-poedit/

Hi Petra,

The language files are now over at Github and can be dowloaded here:

https://github.com/eventespresso/languages

I can suggest an alternate method that doesn’t involved downloaded, editing, and re-uploading language files though. If you’re comfortable with editing PHP files, there’s a WordPress filter hook you can use to change text strings. Alex Mills wrote how to use it here:

In your case, you’d add the following code to either your theme’s functions.php file or if you have the custom files add-on installed, the custom_functions.php file:

function myee_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {

    $strings = array(
        'Register' => 'Buy Tickets',
        // Add some more strings here
    );

    if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
        $translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
    }

    return $translated;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'myee_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

The Add to cart link can be removed by deactivating the Multi Event Registration add-on.
