Hello, I’m wondering if this feature has been added. Previous topics I’ve searched mentioned this is planned but I couldn’t find anything explaining how to do it.
AI-generated summary
The discussion “Renaming Trust Levels” revolves around the possibility of renaming trust levels on a Discourse platform. db0 initiated the conversation by asking if this feature has been implemented. zogstrip and drreen also expressed interest in the feature, while tobiaseigen mentioned that they have badges based on trust levels and would like to rename the trust levels directly as they appear on user profile pages.
Urrunaga shared a specific use case, wanting to rename trust levels to more friendly names like Bronze, Silver, and Gold. charleswalter initially thought this feature was not on the roadmap, assuming trust levels were meant for backend use only.
However, gerhard provided a solution for users of Discourse 1.5.beta, explaining that trust levels can be renamed by going to Admin → Customize → Text Content. Urrunaga found this helpful, and charleswalter noted that changing text may require using the site with the desired language selected in user preferences.
This is still planned ![]()
Any news on this one?

what is it you are trying to do? we have badges based on trust levels and are able to use a different name for the badges which is handy.
would also be nice to rename the trust levels directly as they appear on user profile pages, or to suppress them.
I would like to know if this feature is done. I want to rename the Trust Levels for something more friendly like Bronze, Silver, Gold level.
Thanks.
@helloforos I haven’t seen this feature on the roadmap. My expectation is that Trust levels are just meant for backend and the groups and badges are the way to publicly recognize users.
You can rename trust levels if you are using Discourse 1.5.beta.
Just go to Admin → Customize → Text Content, search for the things you want to rename and apply the changes.
This is what it looks like on the badges page after I renamed “Leader” to “Gold level”:
Interesting! I will check it out. Thank you @gerhard
@urrunaga, I imagine that changing texts needs to happen in language. So if you want to change text in Spanish, you need to be using the site with Spanish selected in your preferences.
