Changing 'Kudos' to 'Likes'
I keep looking and might just be missing it, but to change the term 'Kudos' in a community, does one need to go into Text Editor and make a bunch of manual changes or is there an easier way to do it? Thanks.

- You could always use toolbelt and edit the text. That's still a lot of work, but at least it's not trying to figure out which manual changes to make without being able to see what you're trying to change.
I'm having the same issue. Branding the community to OUR standards is extremely important, and "kudos" is not cool with our design team at all. The only way I've seen is Text Editor, but I beleive that's the "manual" process you mean; there are hundreds of entries! I wish there was a config as simple as Singular= *** Plural= ***, and it changes the term globally. For our purposes specifically, "Kudos" is just awful!
Anyone have a better solution than the Text Editor?
Thanks,
Tim
Hi Tim,
I've managed to do this in a sandbox environment, simply by adding the following custom text key.
KudosCountLabel.kudos.title = {0,choice,0# Likes|1# Like|1< Likes}
This appears to replace all instances of the Kudos button in the community with Like or Likes depending on the count.I hope this helps
This post shows you how to change 'Kudos' to 'Hearts' (which you could then change to 'likes'):

Hey Tim,
Here is the list of text keys that were changed. The best thing to do is to go into Lithium Studio, go to the Text Editor tab, and do a search for all text keys with 'kudo' in them (Taken from a post by DougS):

Has anyone tried this solution? How manual did it end up being? I want to change Kudos for our community to something else but don't have the developer knowledge to do it in the text keys.
Thanks!
- I made the changes using the Text Editor as suggested in this conversation. I first searched for "Kudo" and then "Kudos". I took those search results and put them in a text editor. Using Find/Replace (not replace all; that won't work) I changed a large number of the most important values. It's not a fun task, but it's the only way I found that works.
