Hello!
I have one question about this. Is it possible to localize the text added by this?
The “normal” way it says “Lägg till Artikel” on our Swedish site.
With Acorn Post Types it says “Add Artikel”, for example.
The functionality you’re looking for is changing the “labels” of the post type. GenerateWP has a very robust example of all labels a post type has and their defaults, all of which you can override:
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Post Types', 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Post Type', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Post Types', 'text_domain' ),
'name_admin_bar' => __( 'Post Type', 'text_domain' ),
'archives' => __( 'Item Archives', 'text_domain' ),
'attributes' => __( 'Item Attributes', 'text_domain' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Item:', 'text_domain' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Items', 'text_domain' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Item', 'text_domain' ),
'add_new' => __( 'Add New', 'text_domain' ),
'new_item' => __( 'New Item', 'text_domain' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Item', 'text_domain' ),
'update_item' => __( 'Update Item', 'text_domain' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View Item', 'text_domain' ),
'view_items' => __( 'View Items', 'text_domain' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Item', 'text_domain' ),
'not_found' => __( 'Not found', 'text_domain' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'Not found in Trash', 'text_domain' ),
'featured_image' => __( 'Featured Image', 'text_domain' ),
'set_featured_image' => __( 'Set featured image', 'text_domain' ),
'remove_featured_image' => __( 'Remove featured image', 'text_domain' ),
'use_featured_image' => __( 'Use as featured image', 'text_domain' ),
'insert_into_item' => __( 'Insert into item', 'text_domain' ),
'uploaded_to_this_item' => __( 'Uploaded to this item', 'text_domain' ),
'items_list' => __( 'Items list', 'text_domain' ),
'items_list_navigation' => __( 'Items list navigation', 'text_domain' ),
'filter_items_list' => __( 'Filter items list', 'text_domain' ),
The Extended Post Types documentation page on the topic is significantly less robust, but you can see in the example where the labels are overridden:
# Override the base names used for labels:
'singular' => 'Story',
'plural' => 'Stories',
'slug' => 'stories'
These two examples should get you going!
