    Change error message when number of characters are exceeded.

    Hej there.

    Is there any way to alter the error message when a user enter to many characters into a text area? Currently the message is as shown in this image

    enter image description here

    However the client would like it to say something like "Limit exceeded by X symbols" as they find the current error message to be confusing.

    Kind Regards Mads Justesen

    Hi Mads,

    Yes this is possible. The text that is shown here is controlled by a Language file which you can override.

    If you create a "user" language file by following the instructions here: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Extending/Language-Files/

    you can override the core language files.

    To change this text in particular, you need to override the "textbox" area and the "Characters_exceed" value, the defaults can be found here:

    Thanks

    Nik
