maybe I could be more precise:
I have a bilingual buddypress community. I use multisite (each language on a seperate site) and the sites share the same user base. I would like to display the label of certain fields differently on the different languages. So I thought I could write a plugin for a specific site and change the labels this way. Is that possible? and if so, could you provide me with the code, I mean just the filter?

I tried the following with no result:
add_filter( 'bxcft_field_label', 'change_label', 10,1);
function change_label($id){
if($id == 1){
$label_to_return = "Color";
return $label_to_return;
}
}

Hi,
Try this:
add_filter('bxcft_field_label', 'my_field_label', 10, 2);
function my_field_label($label, $field_id) {
if ($field_id == 1){
$label_to_return = "Color";
return $label_to_return;
}
return $label;
}
But this will only change the label in the form, not when viewing profile. When you view profile you will need to change the template.

Hi,
thank you. I applied your code but don’t get any result on any form. Not in the registration form nor on the edit profile. But I suppose as you mentioned it is only possible for the registration.
What does the id refer to?
I used 1 because I wanted to change the name for the field with the id of 1 in my databse table wp_bp_xprofile_fields. Is that correct?

This is possible for registration form and edit profile form.
You can only use this filter for the fields which are using a field type provided by my plugin. If it’s a field with a type from buddypress defaults, you cannot use this filter.
To know the id of a field, you can try to edit a profile field and in the url you can see something like this:
page=bp-profile-setup&group_id=1&field_id=31&mode=edit_field
31 is the id of this field.
But I believe 1 is the id of the default and required field of buddypress “Name” so you cannot change this with the filter provided by my plugin. You can use buddypress filter “bp_get_the_profile_field_name” to do this.
