Magento is a featured packed robust e-commerce solution but it does have its bugs and failures. This is where having a host with free tech support comes in handy (plug plug). With the use of translation files Magento is able to adjust for many of the worlds languages including that most awkward.. English.. of the UK variety. The standard GB translation pack covers many things but what looks like a bug prevents a glaring problem. The term Cheque is rendered as Check.. several times.



I assume that the translation packs are meant to change this and indeed if you look in the relevant .csv files you will see that there are entries for all references to checks / cheques. However, this does not appear to be working as intended. If you switch on in line translation (system > config > developer > translet inline … an AMAIZING FEATURE) you will note that this field can not be addressed

There is a fairly simple fix:

You can change the name of the Payment method “check / money order” to “cheque / postal order” in System > configuration > payment methods > check / money order and change the title to what you want

To change the wording in checkout:

edit

app/design/frontend/default/YOUR-template/template/payment/form/checkmo.phtml

and change the label directly.
