Hi friends,
I want to relabel this to ‘Games’ from ‘Categories’ and I know it’s under Customize / Text but I cannot tell what element this is. I know zero code language but you’ve all been super helpful
See attached

There are a few 😅, I don’t see which one it is from your screenshot 🤓
You might want to try :
### js.categories.all
categories
### js.filters.categories.title
Categories
### js.user.preferences\_nav.categories
Categories
### js.user.categories\_settings
Categories
### admin\_js.admin.web\_hooks.categories\_filter
Categories
### admin\_js.admin.reseed.modal.categories
Categories
### search.types.category
Categories

My screen shot if from the default page users load when first loading the forum. My categories are actually game titles so I think that naming convention would be more intuitive

I’d go with `js.categories.all` then (it was labelled “all the categories” before) but for consistency, shouldn’t you rename it through all the site?

Ben I spent the last 3-4 hours breaking the site and patching it back together. My brain mashed potatoes. Learned a lot along the way though

If you get stuck trying to find a translation key again, the easiest way to find the correct key for a term that is used in a lot of places on Discourse is to follow the steps outline in this guide: [Find a translation key with verbose localization](https://meta.discourse.org/t/find-a-translation-key-with-verbose-localization/134651).

Thanks all. Is there an easy way to bulk change Categories (wherever found) to Games? @simon

It might be possible to automate the process through the API, but there is no way to bulk change all references to “Categories” to “Games” through the user interface. You will need to update the translation for each key manually.
