How to modify literals

Customise Sage Sales Management texts by language, preview the changes, and select the literals you want to update.

Written by Jon Trasobares

View literals

  1. Open Sage Sales Management Admin.

  2. Select Literals from the side menu.

The table shows the Literal key and its current value in each language. Use Search to find the text you want to view.

Define the text to replace

  1. Select Customise literal in the top right corner.

  2. Complete the three fields in the form:

Field

What to enter

Select language

The language in which you want to change the text. You can select one language at a time.

Replace words

The current word or text you want to replace.

New value

The text you want to use instead.

The form selects your user language by default. You can change it before continuing.

  1. Select Preview changes.

Review and select changes

The preview lets you check the result before saving.

Review the matches and select the checkboxes for the specific literals you want to change.

If you select none, the system replaces all literals that match the specified text in the selected language.

For example, a word may appear in both a menu name and a message. Review both contexts before saving.

When you finish reviewing, select Save changes.

Check capitalisation, singular, and plural forms

The system retains the original text’s capitalisation when applying the new value. Check the result in the preview.

Replace singular and plural forms separately. For example:

Current text

New value

Company

Account

Companies

Accounts

Repeat the process for each language you want to customise.

Changing a literal changes the text the application displays. It does not change the item’s function or structure.
