Question

Hi,

I want to customize Jira default fields names. For e.g I want to replace "Issue" with "Task" everywhere in Jira. I am able to replace most of it by editing WEB-INF\classes\com\atlassian\jira\web\action\JiraWebActionSupport.properties file. But still there are some places where it is not changes. For e.g when we click on "Issues" tab on home page there is a option "Import Issues from CSV".

Please help me where to change it?

Regards,

Zeeshan

I alread replaced "issues" with "activities" through out JiraWebActionSupport.properties file but i mentioned in above cases , it didn't take place . In you provided link also suggesting that change text in "JiraWebActionSupport.properties" only

I don't know in which other location if i modify in jira 6.1.5 , so it will take place

Ah, that's a separate line of text from the general "issues" phrase, so you need to do more translating.  I'm afraid you really do need to go through all the language files, not just JiraWebActionSupport.properties.
