Every Word on Your Website Is Yours to Change
Nothing on the front end of your Brilliant Directories website is locked in. That "About" heading on a member profile, the wording on your buttons, the labels on your forms — they're all text labels, and you can rewrite any of them in a few seconds. No code, no developer, no support ticket.
In the video above, Rick shows the shortcut that makes this easy: while you're browsing your live site, the admin bar has a Show Text Labels button. Turn it on, and every editable piece of wording on the page is revealed. Click the one you want, change the text, save — and it's updated everywhere on your site. This support guide walks through the same trick: How to Locate Text Labels on the Front End of a Website.
Why This Matters for Your Website
- Your site sounds like your niche, not like software. Call them members, vendors, artists, contractors, chapters or practitioners — whatever your audience actually calls themselves.
- Clearer wording means more sign-ups. Small changes to buttons, headings and form labels remove confusion and help visitors take the next step. Even your navigation labels are worth a second look.
- No waiting on anyone. Spot an awkward phrase at 9pm and fix it yourself in under a minute.
- Change it once, change it everywhere. Edit a label and it updates across every page that uses it — no hunting through templates.
- Your whole site, in another language. Text labels are also how your website gets translated — with 40+ languages available to choose from, plus right-to-left text support for languages that need it.
Going Global
If your audience doesn't browse in English, you're not stuck. Auto-translating your text labels turns the entire front end of your website — including member dashboards and automated emails — into the language your visitors actually speak. Our guide on how to translate your Brilliant Directories website covers the full list of supported languages, and the Google Website Translator add-on lets visitors pick their own language from a dropdown.
For a full tour of the Text Labels section in your admin area — including how to search for a label and how to auto-translate them — see the Settings » Text Labels support document.
It's a small feature that quietly does a lot: your website stops sounding generic and starts sounding like yours.
