You can edit the default wording within your app’s login screens, menus, push notifications, and access code directly from the App Language & Wording section in your Control Panel. This lets you change phrases, update tone, or translate your app for different audiences.


Requirements

  • Available in all Buildfire apps

  • The Access Code section only appears if the access code screen is enabled


How to edit your app’s default language and wording

  1. Log in, go to Builder in the left navigation

  2. Click Settings, then select App Language & Wording

  3. You’ll see five main sections you can customize:

    • Login Page: Change phrases related to login, sign up, and password reset

    • Menu Strings: Update the wording for items in your app’s side menu

    • User Profile: Edit text that appears in user profile screens

    • Push Notifications: Customize default push notification messages

    • Access Code: Modify the text on the access code screen (if enabled)

  4. Click on a section to view editable phrases

    • Use the search bar to find specific text you want to change (e.g., search “Sign In”)

    • Update the text (e.g., change “Sign In” → “Login”)

    • Click Save to apply your changes

  5. Go to the Design tab or app preview to confirm your updates appear as expected


Pro tips

  • You can use this section to localize your app into other languages or adjust tone (e.g., “Join Now” instead of “Sign Up”).

  • Always click Save after editing a section — changes apply instantly.

  • To reset text to the default Buildfire wording, clear your custom entry and click Save.
