Hello zerevans, yes. If you want to change it only once, you can change the default in the TextArea field parameters directly.
If you have multiple languages you should use the J! core language override feature. It should be the following CONSTANT:

TA_SYMBOLSLEFTMSG

Value is:
There are (%s) simbols left of %d


BTW, it is used in the field's input template. It has its own language INI file.

Hello, it did not work for you?
I made a quick test with a direct text change in field params...
and also language overrides for 2 languages: EN and DE

I have also checked the field's language INI and the input template. The CONSTANT name is correct.
The only minor difference is the default value in INI and template. One says "simbols" and the other says "characters", but this should not be an issue.

Language override

Make sure you create and enter the override for EACH SITE language.
Sometimes, you enter it accidently for ADMIN. Happens to me all the time ;)

BTW, I noticed no frontend change at once (!?)
So I checked and switched default language for the site...
and cleared Joomla and Browser cache before reloading the submission form!
Suddenly it worked!

Screenshots from langauge override test on Artikkeli text area field.

Test parameter message

cob_textarea_param_message

cob_textarea_param_message_frontend


Test Override FI

cob_textarea_override_fi

cob_textarea_override_fi_frontend

cob_textarea_override_fi_frontend_final

As far as I can tell, it works now for "Artikkeli".

zerevans Are you working this week ? I sent a message to you in Facebook.

We already had a conversation on facebook. I have solved the issue (sort of).


@Sergey
Although I was able to fix it, I can't explain what causes the actual problem.
The language manager override does not work from the beginning.
I had to edit the field parameter as well, enter a new value or delete the default… save the field.
Only this way, the actual "external override" takes place.
Do you have any clue why this is happening?

Is it because of the missing FI-fi language INI file?
Or because of the field parameter? I noticed the default value IN THE PARAM is different to the .INI value.
It feels like the parameter has an impact on the override functionality?!

pepperstreet Is it because of the missing FI-fi language INI file?

I woudl start from this one. Created a file and had a look what will happen. But I cannot say for sure. One of the misteries of Joomla probably.
