<ul></ul><p>Just a quick insight here: I think it unlikely that the labels will be customizable from the administration interface in a foreseeable future, because it basically brakes localization and the UI as a whole (e.g. <em>issue</em> appears more than in 80 lines in the <code>en.yml</code> localization file, which means you wouldn't have to change "only" the label, but possibly those other 80+ occurrences, plus you might one day have someone using something else than english and might get surprised by the discrepancies between the 2 languages). On the other hand, and because of the localization features in remine, the labels already are customizable as long as you are willing to open up a text editor and change whatever you see fit in the localization file, and that wouldn't be time-consuming (apart from the one-off effort of making the adjustments) nor difficult, you would have to check for inconsistencies on your own though, and be sure to recheck the localization file on updates.</p>
<p>The second part pertaining to a discussion I seem to lack some part of the context should be help in the forums.</p> Redmine - Feature #4636: System-wide Object Label Settings and the general Open Pario Malaisehttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4636?journal_id=137702010-01-22T16:38:40ZRichard Schulte
<ul><li><strong>Assignee</strong> deleted (<del><i>Eric Davis</i></del>)</li></ul><p>Good point. The other aspect of this which would be difficult would be that any feature which introduced what could be construed as a 'label' would have to factor these settings into their releases as well, which would be pretty lame and kind of unfair.</p>
<p>Such customizations will have to be made on a build-based level for sure.</p>
<p>As far as best practices are concerned, how do you feel as a developer about this:</p>
<p><cite>One thing that worries me about such a feature is that it could detract from the 'brand' of Redmine. One can always identify a redmine site by the standard features tabs, and 'issues' is what sets redmine apart from other project management systems. Certainly sufficient attribution would be necessary to keep from obscuring the grand efforts of the redmine community.</cite></p>
<p>And yea, that was a very strange and unconventional way of sparking up a discussion. I'll be figuring out a more sensible way of doing so here soon.</p> Redmine - Feature #4636: System-wide Object Label Settings and the general Open Pario Malaisehttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4636?journal_id=137722010-01-22T19:28:13ZFelix Schäfer

<p>I'm only a contributor, not even a developer :-) Regarding the branding thing, it's ultimately JPLang's call, but I think he's not that concerned about such things. Anyway, it's free software, so in the end, you can do a pretty lot with it.</p> Redmine - Feature #4636: System-wide Object Label Settings and the general Open Pario Malaisehttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4636?journal_id=141632010-02-10T01:11:53ZEric Davis
<ul></ul><p>If anyone is interested, I have a (officially unreleased but used in production) plugin that lets you override Redmine's languages without editing the core language files. It's still <strong>system-wide</strong> but might be useful for some language changes.</p>

<ul></ul><p>Aaha! This is really good generalization.</p>
<p>This will solve following issues: <a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-4 priority-default" title="Feature: Generic task management (not issues) (New)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/3068">#3068</a>, <a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-3 priority-lowest" title="Feature: Rename Issue as Ticket (or ...) in GUI (New)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/2082">#2082</a>, <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Replace "Issue" for "Task" (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/4568">#4568</a>, <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Change Issue for Task (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/4908">#4908</a> and may be few more!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the plugin is very old - perhaps no longer active.</p>
