Hi,
I need to customize both the missing answer pop up and the red notice which indicates that mandatory answers are missing. Essentially, because they should sound more friendly in the context of our survey.

A grep search within all limesurvey files, that is: , returned:
Questions:
Is /local/de/de.mo the appropriate file to change the notice?
Which is the right way to edit this file, since it is a binary?

Many thanks and kind regards
Wilhelm

Hello, William,

to change the wording you have to download the *.po file (de.po) here: www.limesurvey.org/community/contribute/translations-status

This can be edited e.g. with "poedit" ( poedit.net/ )

Saving the file automatically creates the de.po and the de.m, which you upload to the locale-folder.

The look and feel of the red notice should be changeable by a bit of css
At the moment there is only:
So either in "template.css" or directly in the question text add your desired changes, like "color:yellow", "font-style:italic", etc.

Best regards
Joffm

More about modifying the translation files here - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Translating_LimeSurvey

I would create a new translation so it won't get overwritten when updating.

Dear Joffm and tpartner,
many thanks, your answer was really helpful!
