User locale ​

Probably you want to modify some text for your specific community, that’s why we thought the user_locale configuration: you can specify your version of each string of gancio making a directory with your locales inside. For example, let’s say you want to modify the text shown during registration:
mkdir /opt/gancio/user_locale

put something like this in /opt/gancio/user_locale/en.json to override the registration description in english:

json
{
  "register": {
    "description": "My new registration page description"
  }
}

and then point the user_locale configuration to that directory (in your config.json):

json
"user_locale": "/opt/gancio/user_locale"

Watch here for a list of strings you can override.

Restart needed

Note that a restart is needed when you change user_locale’s content.
