 * Great plugin!!! Thank you for your work. Love it simple and to the point with
   no bloat.
    One question. Can I change the ‘subject’ field name to ‘phone’ instead?

 * Hi,
 * Best thing to do is to change it in the language files. You can use for example
   Poedit or [Loco Translate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/) for
   that.
 * If your language is default English, you should create an English language files
   and only translate the lines containing ‘subject’.

 * My question is exactly the same as Shane’s, but I do not understand your answer.
   I entered the edit field from the Plugins directory, but I see nothing in the
   code where I can do a simple substitute for the phrase, “Fill in number 212:”
   with “Phone”. Am I in over my head?

 * as a ps. I love the plug-in. Drop dead simple and responsive. Hoping I can fix
   that one thing to keep my client happy.
    Thanks in advance for any help. I am
   without question very new at this, and NOT a coder.

 * Hi Greg,
 * The number is part of anti-spam so I don’t recommend removing/changing this. 
   And translate this into Phone isn’t gonna work because of the validation of that
   field.
 * Is changing ‘Subject’ into ‘Phone’ an option for you?
