Editing the Language File through WHM

For WHM version 11.24

This feature allows you to access a list of possible edits to make to a cPanel language file.

Please see our documentation about cPanel language files for more information.

To access the language file:

  1. Select the language you would like to edit from the Language pull-down menu.
  2. Select the file you would like to edit from the File/Theme pull-down menu.
    • Root Language File edits the file that supplies wording for your cPanel interface when a needed term in the interface is missing from the primary language files.
    • x (available for English only) edits the deprecated x theme’s language file.
    • x3 edits the x3 language file.
    • x3mail edits the x3mail language file.
    • If you have a custom cPanel theme, you can select it here to edit its language file.
      • Language files for custom themes reside on your server in the directory /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/$themename/lang/.
        • $themename should be replaced by the name of the custom theme.
  3. Click Go.

Once the file is accessed for editing, you may use the text boxes under the Translation heading to translate or reword any phrase within the cPanel interface.

  • You can access an English translation of any phrase by clicking the English button.
  • You may also use the Revert button to translate the corresponding phrase back into its original form.

PICK Remember: Click Save at the bottom of the screen to store any changes you have made.
