# Ability to modify language files

 * Wondering if there will be a way (in upcoming versions) to change the text used
   in the language file, which is used to display warnings to attackers and users.
   For example, when someone triggers the brute force filter, instead of it saying“
   You tripped the security plugin defenses a total of x times making you a suspect”,
   I’d like to change that wording a bit. Same for other triggered alerts. Editing
   the text files in the plugin will just get overwritten on next plugin update,
   so there would have to be another way of saving that data.
 * Thanks in advance for the help, and love the plugin.

 * We don’t currently have anything in-place for this, or planned, to be honest.
   I’ll have a think about how we can better allow for this sort of thing going 
   forward though, it’s a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion, appreciate it!
