Subscription.php Pop-Up when no @ in form – How to change?

    Greetings!

    I am trying to implement this awesome plugin, but am hitting a brick wall right now.
    The readme says that all texts can be changed via the backend, however, I cannot find where to change the “Please include an ‘@’ in the email address. ‘XXXXX’ is missing an ‘@’.”, which pops up if you try to subscribe, but didn’t supply a proper email address.
    Further investigation into the code has not yielded any insight as to where that phrase could be stored. Could anybody help me to locate it?

    The reason is, that I would like to translate it into german, because the rest of the site is, too, but changing the overall language setting in the backend did not do the trick.

    Thanks in advance!

    That message is not from our plugin but it’s a message from your browser which validates the input field of type email. Every browser has different messages and already localized.

    Hey, thanks for the reply!

    Although its not the answer I wanted to hear… 🙁
    Off the top of your head, do you see any possibility to overwrite it?

    I have poked around the code for a few solid hours now and must admit its over my knowledge and one ofthe last little things to fix before the site is done.

    There are tricks to change the default messages of a browser, not sure they are compatible with all browsers. They all disable the validation and replace with custom made validation.

    Or you should change the form declaring the field of type text. Do you think it is a big problem for your subscribers? Which browser is showing that message?

    I personally use Vivaldi, which is an offshoot of Chrome. But thats not the point, as the site is not only for myself.
    I do see what you mean, it would be too much of a hassle just for that little bit of text. Too bad, but I will leave it as it is.

    Thank you for your assistance!
