# Edit widget text

### ✏️ **Steps to** edit widget text 

1. Open the app > click **Settings** > **Translations**
2. Find the text you want to change
3. Edit text in the **Default** column directly. All editable text is listed under the **Default** column

Note:  You do **not** need to add a new language if you're only updating the default wording

3. Use the **search bar** or category filters (e.g., Button, Calendar, Validation & Error) to locate specific phrases
4. Click **Save** to update the changes
5. review your changes on the storefront

### 💡 Understand the translation table

On this page, you’ll see:

* **Search content…**: quickly find any text (example: “Book”, “Confirm”, “Error”)
* Category tabs like:\
  **Button**, **Date time**, **Empty**, **Duration**, **Confirm**, **Price & Payment**, **Validation & Error**, **Calendar**, **Other**
* A table with columns:
  * **Key / Item** (example: Book Now, Continue, Close…)
  * **Reference** (original text)
  * **Default** (the text currently used on your widget — this is what you edit)

> 💡 Think of it like: **Reference = original**, **Default = what customers will see**.

**Example Edits:**

| Reference Text   | Custom Text (Default) |
| ---------------- | --------------------- |
| Book Now         | Reserve Now           |
| Continue         | Proceed               |
| Back             | Go Back               |
| Add guest        | Add another person    |
| View full detail | See all details       |

### ⭐ Best practices

#### Keep text short

Buttons work best with 1–3 words:

* “Reserve”
* “Next”
* “Confirm”

#### Keep wording consistent

If you use “Reserve” on the first button, avoid switching to “Book” later.

#### Don’t change system meaning

For error messages, keep the meaning clear so customers understand what to fix.
