Customize comment form

Hey there,

I’m having some trouble with the customization of the comment form. The theme I am using is a child theme of Twenty Eleven and can be found on http://www.chavanonkoor.nl.

I would like to change some of the default variables used by comment_form() which is called from comments.php.

In order to do this I copied comments.php to my childs theme folder and followed the example from http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_form. I plugged in the following code in comments.php before the comment.form() call.

<?php $comments_args = array(
        // change the title of send button
        'label_submit'=>'Send',
        // change the title of the reply section
        'title_reply'=>'Write a Reply or Comment'
        );
?>

Then I replaced comment.form() by comment.form($comments_args) and it should replace the defined variables. Only it doesn’t.

Does anybody have any ideas about this? I’ve been looking for an answer for a couple of hours but I didn’t find one.

Thanks!
