# Custom strings overview

## Customize site language and terminology via string sets

String Sets allow you to customize the default text labels and UI terms used throughout your Centercode site. They are built on a key-value pair system, where each key (like ph\_mytodo) corresponds to a specific piece of interface text (e.g., "My To-Do"). With a custom string set, you can rename labels to match your brand language—for example, changing "My To-Do" to "My Assignments." Custom string sets are supported at both the community and project scopes.

From the community homepage:

1. Click the **Community logo** in the top-left navigation menu
2. Select **Community configuration**
3. Click **Custom strings**

From here you can edit existing, or create new, custom string sets.

#### To Create a New Custom String Set:

1. Hover over the community strings or project strings table cell and click the **New** icon
2. Enter a name for your new string set
3. Choose to **clone an existing set** or start with **Centercode’s base strings**
4. Click the **Submit** button at the bottom of the page

You have successfully created a custom string set.

#### To Edit an Existing String Set:

To edit an existing string set, hover over the table cell of the string set and you will be presented with several options:

- Click on the **string set name** to customize the strings in that set
- **Modify:** Change the name of the custom string set
- **Import:** Import a custom string set via copy/pasting a set keys and values (See here for details)
- **Export:** Export a custom string set in CSV format
- **Remove:** Delete the string set

#### Applying Your Custom String Set to the Community

Once your custom string set is created:

1. Go to **Community configuration \> Basic settings**
2. Select your custom set from the **String set** dropdown
3. Click **Submit** to apply the change

#### Applying Your Custom String Set to a Project

Once your custom string set is created:

1. Go to the project and expand the **Management** menu
2. Select **Project configuration**
3. Click **Basic settings**
4. Select your custom set from the **String set** dropdown
5. Click **Submit** to apply the change
