Hi Guys Im trying to translate a specific errormessage, I have now tried with another plugin named loco, but theres no option to translate an error message im getting on an email field.

The email field looks like this:

<div class=”acf-input-wrap”><input id=”acf-field_5b0137ee39f62″ class=”error” name=”acf[field_5b0137ee39f62]” value=”” placeholder=”” aria-invalid=”true” type=”email”><label id=”acf-field_5b0137ee39f62-error” class=”error” for=”acf-field_5b0137ee39f62″>Please enter a valid email address.</label></div>

This is what is generated by your plugin, i tried to change the error message using Jquery with no luck, is there any way you can help me :)?

“tried”:

jQuery(“#acf-field_5b0137ee39f62-error”).html(“Email ikke indtastet korrekt”);

.html .text // nothing works

even selecting the .error class doesnt work.

For example in your jquery-js with:

$(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
    $('.acf-notice p').each(function() {
        var text = $(this).text();
        $(this).text(text.replace('Wert ist erforderlich = OLD MESSAGE', 'Bitte ausfüllen = NEW MESSAGE')); 
    });
});
