How to Change Regular Price & Special Price text in magento

Hello Everyone,

Today I’m going to tell you how to change 'Regular Price' and 'Special Price' text in magento. Though there are many ways to do it, But i'l tell you one simple method as it worked for me.I wanted to change 'Regular Price' with 'Actual Price' and 'Special Price' with 'Our Price'.

First you need to navigate to the file mage_catalog.csv by following path:

app/locale/en_US/Mage_catalog.csv

Now just check for translations 'Regular Price' and just

Replace

"Regular Price:","Regular price:"

With

"Regular Price:","Actual Price:"

Replace

"Special Price:","Special Price:"

with

"Special Price:","Our Price:"


Well now the most important step.
- Clear the Cache.
- Go to System –> Cache Management
- Refreh Cache.
- If you have not enabled the Cache OR if it didn’t work even after refreshing the cache, then
- delete the cache folder present inside var (var/cache)

You can also refer to the video showing how it actually works



If you are not able to change the label through CSV files, you can use following method :

  • Go to
    Admin Panel –> System –> Configuration –> ADVANCED –> Developer –> Magento Developer –> Translate Inline
  • Change "Enabled for Frontend" from 'No' to 'Yes'.
  • Press Save Config
  • Refreh Cache.
-> Now go to frontend and refresh page
->

How to change Currency symbol in magento



Hello Everyone,

                 Today I’m going to tell you how to change Currency symbol in magento.In simple words, This tutorial will tell to change the currency symbol of dollar (from $ to Rs). By default, the currency symbol for dollar is $.But if you want to insert rupee symbol  instead of "Rs" follow this tutorial.

For this, you need to edit lib/Zend/Locale/Data/en.xml
Well, the xml file to edit depends upon your locale settings. My locale is set to English (United States). So, I will have to change en.xml file.

You can change your locale setting from
Admin Panel –> System –> Configuration –> GENERAL –> General –> Locale options –> Locale

If your locale is Japanese (Japan), you need to change lib/Zend/Locale/Data/ja.xml
If your locale is Hindi (India), you need to change lib/Zend/Locale/Data/ne.xml
It’s similar for other locale settings. I have locale setting as English, so I will be editing en.xml file.
- Open lib/Zend/Locale/Data/en.xml
- Find the following :-


<currency type="USD">
    <displayName>US Dollar</displayName>
    <displayName count="one">US dollar</displayName>
    <displayName count="other">US dollars</displayName>
    <symbol>$</symbol>
</currency>

- Change

<symbol>$</symbol>

-to

<symbol>Rs</symbol>

But wait, you are still not done. The most important thing is still left.
- Clear the Cache.
- Go to System –> Cache Management
- Refreh Cache.
- If you have not enabled the Cache OR if it didn’t work even after refreshing the cache, then
- delete the cache folder present inside var (var/cache)


You can also refer to the video showing how it actually works



But sometimes you want to insert an image instead of text
for e.g. if you want insert rupee symbol  instead of "Rs" follow this tutorial.
