Tax not VAT

How can I get Hikashop to show the word "TAX" not "VAT" on my invoices & on the website?

Thanks

I tried that...it did not work. Here's the changes I did...words that are in BOLD at the end are what I entered in the override section. All of the stuff before the BOLD wording is what was already there.

Hi,

You have to keep the same keys, and change only the text between the quotes
For example, you have to use:

TOTAL_WITHOUT_VAT="TOTAL without TAX : %s"

TOTAL_WITHOUT_TAX="TOTAL without TAX : %s"

Ohhh, ok, so keep anything that says VAT that is not in quotes? Only change the VAT to TAX when it's in quotes?

Yes

Ok...tried it, and unless I did something wrong...it's still showing VAT. Here's what I have in the override section...

PRICE_AFTER_VAT=" excl TAX) "
PLUS_X_OF_VAT="+%s of TAX"
VAT="TAX"
VAT_CHECK="TAX number check"
NO_VAT_CHECK="No check"
COMPANY_WITHOUT_VAT_NUMBER="Company without TAX number"
COMPANY_WITH_VAT_NUMBER="Company with TAX number"
VAT_NOT_FOR_YOUR_COUNTRY="Your country is not supported for TAX numbers"
VAT_NUMBER_NOT_VALID="The TAX number you entered is not valid"
SOAP_EXTENSION_NOT_FOUND="The online TAX number check needs the SOAP extension for PHP. If
you don't have it, please install it and then activate it. Otherwise, deactivate the online TAX number
TOTAL_WITHOUT_VAT="TOTAL without TAX : %s"
TOTAL_WITH_VAT="TOTAL with TAX : %s"
VAT_NUMBER="TAX number"
VAT_NAME="Tax name (for example GST or TAX)"

Some keys are not correct like: PRICE_AFTER_TAX=" excl VAT) "
You have to take the keys present in the normal section, then copy and paste the keys in the override section and change the text between the quotes.

And be careful, in the line SOAP_EXTENSION_NOT_FOUND="The online TAX number check needs the SOAP extension for PHP. If
you don't have it, please install it and then activate it. Otherwise, deactivate the online TAX number the ending double quote is missing.

Thanks to read that documentation:

OK, things have calmed down enough for me to try this again, and I am NOT having any luck...here's the override section...

PRICE_AFTER_TAX=" excl TAX) "
PLUS_X_OF_VAT="+%s of TAX"
VAT="TAX"
VAT_CHECK="TAX number check"
NO_VAT_CHECK="No check"
COMPANY_WITHOUT_VAT_NUMBER="Company without TAX number"
COMPANY_WITH_VAT_NUMBER="Company with TAX number"
VAT_NOT_FOR_YOUR_COUNTRY="Your country is not supported for TAX numbers"
VAT_NUMBER_NOT_VALID="The TAX number you entered is not valid"
SOAP_EXTENSION_NOT_FOUND="The online TAX number check needs the SOAP extension for PHP. If
you don't have it, please install it and then activate it. Otherwise, deactivate the online TAX number check."
TOTAL_WITHOUT_VAT="TOTAL without TAX : %s"
TOTAL_WITH_VAT="TOTAL with TAX : %s"
VAT_NUMBER="TAX number"
VAT_NAME="Tax name (for example GST or TAX)"

What am I doing wrong? I'm trying my best but I cannot figure this out.

Hi,

Are you sure that you are overriding the correct file for the correct language ?
Thanks to give us a screenshot of the language edition.

Yeah, it's the only one there...took 2 screen shots for you...

In the override part, sometimes I can see:

THE_KEY="The value" /r/n

Here is everything from the override section...anything with the /r/n was there before I did anything...should I remove them all...or just the ones you said?

You have to remove them all.
Do you have some translations working in this file ?

Not that I know of, and it's the only language file I have. I will work on removing the /r/n entries in the next day or so & report back...thanks! Just an FYI, they were there the first time I opened up the language file. Not sure what my webmaster did when he was setting up the site.

also trying to change VAT to TAX and have a ton of those \r\n in our override section. All these seemed to be related to FedEx settings of some sort. I have tried to add some overrides for VAT -> TAX - will see if these work.
