nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Can the "Component" label be changed?

Eric Blair

We'd like to rename 'Components' to something else. Is it possible to do that?

I'm not talking about editing individual component names, I know we can do that.

Thanks!

You can do this by customizing the text : https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Customizing+Text

Thanks for the quick reply! Do you know if a change like this can be localized to a particular project or projects? Or is it a global change?

It's global.

You can actually create a new language pack, which allows you to get the users to choose between it (e.g. Developers use English, and the "risk assessment team" use English-Risks), but you can't do it on a project basis. That's because a lot of the language is displayed *outside* a project context, so the system has no way of knowing which words it should be using.

It will be a global change. You might want to write some javascripts if you want to change this only in some projects! Modifying the velocity templates for the component system field is another option, if you prefer that! Javascripts will be easier.

If you want to change the Component field only in some projects you could create your own fieldconfiguration for these projects. Then you could use some javascript in the description of the field in the field configuration to overwrite the label Component.

System fields can be renamed with new InProduct Translation plugin

Does anyone know how to do this on the latest versions?

DORIAN KERSCH_48o9xu

A method (not perfect, but probably good enough) to accomplish this:

Install In Product translations in a dev environment (download the Jar -> Manage apps -> upload jar). Note: it may be incompatible with Jira XXX, but that is okay it should still work (tested on Jira 7.11.2).

Turn on the translations. Translate all the things you are interested in. Download it as a language pack. Install the language pack on production and set it to the language of that package (tested on Jira 8.0 and it worked).
