Hello,

Today I’m going to show you a simple fix for changing default PrestaShop validation field name.

It looks like this:

As you can see, it doesn’t look well. The message should show:
– Last name instead of lastname
– First name instead of firstname
– Password instead of passwd
– My field required instead of my_field_required

Let’s edit necessary file(s) to make it pretty!

For any other language than english

An example for Polish lanauge:

Where pl is your language code.

$_FIELDS array looks like this:

$_FIELDS['Customer_342f5c77ed008542e78094607ce1f7f3'] = 'firstname';
$_FIELDS['Customer_8ad75c5a8821cc294f189181722acb56'] = 'lastname';
$_FIELDS['Customer_cf673f7ee88828c9fb8f6acf2cb08403'] = 'birthday';
$_FIELDS['Customer_0c83f57c786a0b4a39efab23731c7ebc'] = 'email';
$_FIELDS['Customer_d1befa03c79ca0b84ecc488dea96bc68'] = 'strona www';
$_FIELDS['Customer_93c731f1c3a84ef05cd54d044c379eaa'] = 'company';
$_FIELDS['Customer_01b0fd027f8764f9c069506b8de8bf2e'] = 'siret';
$_FIELDS['Warehouse_b8af13ea9c8fe890c9979a1fa8dbde22'] = 'reference';
$_FIELDS['Warehouse_b068931cc450442b63f5b3d276ea4297'] = 'nazwa';
$_FIELDS['Warehouse_23c3b4d168a45ef94635494ce42eb658'] = 'management_type';
$_FIELDS['Country_213ecf1210f43736b6d4997fcfa27954'] = 'iso_code';
$_FIELDS['Country_b068931cc450442b63f5b3d276ea4297'] = 'nazwa';
$_FIELDS['Country_37f577d6d447ff0743d74245446223b3'] = 'zip_code_format';
$_FIELDS['State_213ecf1210f43736b6d4997fcfa27954'] = 'iso_code';
$_FIELDS['State_b068931cc450442b63f5b3d276ea4297'] = 'nazwa';
$_FIELDS['Address_93c731f1c3a84ef05cd54d044c379eaa'] = 'company';
$_FIELDS['Address_8ad75c5a8821cc294f189181722acb56'] = 'lastname';
$_FIELDS['Address_342f5c77ed008542e78094607ce1f7f3'] = 'firstname';
$_FIELDS['Address_81e70cb16ec45f5ab19bb6638e8e6c2d'] = 'adres1';
$_FIELDS['Address_f669f8e9f6599d0dfcd613bc6e2f347e'] = 'address2';
$_FIELDS['Address_e90ebd9556fa4031171f043013794b61'] = 'postcode';
$_FIELDS['Address_4ed5d2eaed1a1fadcc41ad1d58ed603e'] = 'city';
$_FIELDS['Address_795f3202b17cb6bc3d4b771d8c6c9eaf'] = 'inne';
$_FIELDS['Address_f7a42fe7211f98ac7a60a285ac3a9e87'] = 'telefon';
$_FIELDS['Address_2df2ca5cf808744c2977e4073f6b59c8'] = 'phone_mobile';
$_FIELDS['Address_eec0a9661213354fa7a52519eea3f827'] = 'vat_number';
$_FIELDS['Address_d56f5e97524d5d1ad77ec197ae11dad0'] = 'days';

Replace all occurences of firstname with First name and lastname with Last name.

For passwd change, you have to add the following lines:

$_FIELDS['Customer_76a2173be6393254e72ffa4d6df1030a'] = 'Password';
$_FIELDS['Address_76a2173be6393254e72ffa4d6df1030a'] = 'Password';

How does it work?
PrestaShop translation system is based on MD5 hashing.
76a2173be6393254e72ffa4d6df1030a is a passwd converted to MD5.

If you have any custom fields (in this example – my_field_required), just hash it with MD5 and add to $_FIELDS array, just like you did with password.

$_FIELDS['Customer_MD5-HASH-your_fieldname'] = 'your_fieldname';
$_FIELDS['Address_MD5-HASH-your_fieldname'] = 'your_fieldname';

For english language

As you can see this file is barely filled.

Now, you know how to add a translation. Use that MD5 trick and add your fields to this file. You can just copy and paste desired fields and translate it as you wish.

$_FIELDS['Customer_MD5-HASH-your_fieldname'] = 'your_fieldname';
$_FIELDS['Address_MD5-HASH-your_fieldname'] = 'your_fieldname';
return $_FIELDS;
