Customising Text

Network Explorer's UI text is driven by a language file, which your organisation can customise to suit local terminology without needing a new build of the application.

Overriding a value

To override specific pieces of text, add them to clientOverrides.json, served alongside the application at /locales/clientOverrides.json. This file starts out empty:

{}

To change a value, add it using the same nested structure as the base language file, keeping only the keys you want to override. For example, to rename the "Close" button used throughout the app:

{
  "common": {
    "close": "Dismiss"
  }
}

Any key left out of clientOverrides.json keeps its default text. Overrides are applied on top of the language file every time the app loads, so they take effect regardless of which language your browser is set to, and can be updated at any time without rebuilding the application.

note

Overrides are matched by their exact key path, which must line up with the structure of the base language file. If you're unsure of a key's path, ask your system administrator or Zepben support.
