Sure,
I’ve changed the modules name in left side bar through Custom Translation,
And changed the heading name through /config/module_name.py file.

& have changed Headings name through Py files,
For Example i want to change the heading name of “Employee and Attendance” in the Employee module.
Go to frappe-bench/apps/erpnext/erpnext/config/hr.py

you will find this code in HR.py file

		{
			"label": _("Employee and Attendance"), **// JUST CHANGE THIS LABEL**
			"items": [
				{
					"type": "doctype",
					"name": "Employee",
					"description": _("Employee records."),
				},
				{
					"type": "doctype",
					"name": "Employee Attendance Tool",
					"label": _("Employee Attendance Tool"),
					"description":_("Mark Attendance for multiple employees"),
					"hide_count": True
				},
				{
					"type": "doctype",
					"name": "Upload Attendance",
					"description":_("Upload attendance from a .csv file"),
					"hide_count": True
				},
			]
		},

Thanks.

Hi

Wouldn’t this be lost in an update? It would be nice to have a solution that persists

Cheers

The custom translation option persists - it travels with the database. @wale You are correct, what is marked here as the solution will not persists across bench updates.
