It’s localized, but all other post controls can be customized by admin (under `js.post.controls`), so I’m assuming this is a bug. ---

I just customized it here on Meta without problems. ---

Okay, this is strange: - I can’t find it by searching for the localized text (as it appears on the website) - I can find it by searching for (probably the default, non-localized) “like this post” - it appears as `js.post.controls.like` and “like this post” in the results - if I click to edit it, the localized text is there So, I was indeed wrong to claim it can’t be customized, but the process is rather convoluted and I still suspect it’s not working as intended. ---

I just searched for “like this post” and edited the first result, which was `js.post.controls.like`. After refreshing the page I can see the new text, so it’s working as expected for me. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/2/a/2af009de1a3a925aac7c645a34ac8b916a514d9d.png) Also searching for the new content works fine: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/b/1b09069804821d5f3ce5452089c6575ce0168c6f.png) I have reverted the customization now. Are you trying to edit a non-default locale or something more complicated like that? ---

Yes, I’m using a non-default locale; not sure if it matters, but it’s Romanian. ---

So the problem is that you can’t search that key by the romanian default content while browsing the forum as admin in the romanian locale? ---

Yes, but the behaviour isn’t consistent; some I can find by searching for the localized version, others behave the way I described here.
