STATE / PROVINCE in registration form

[webt]

Hi,

i've searched the forums, cant find an answer.

When a new user registers, it does not show the "STATE" field, it allows the new user to choose a country, but no state (or province).


How do i fix this?


note: I have added the proper ZONE, COUNTRY, and PROVINCES under the shipping tab, and have "checked" the box that allows a country to posses states.


any help would be appreciated.

I managed to fix this by creating a fake zone named "TEST ZONE" .. a fake country name "TEST COUNTRY" .. and allowing "states".

Then manually I edit each state to use the previous country ex. CANADA, saved every state/province.

loaded up PHPmyadmin, deleted the TEST ZONE, TEST COUNTRY data, and voila! it works.

dont know if this is a bug, or what, but at least I got it working.

thanks.

Now, if any of you know a way to change the default "registration form" and "invoice" text from STATE to PROVINCE. That would be swell!

i've found a reference to this problem via the forum, but still no sollution as his response is vague at best.

could someone please tell me where to change the text "State" to "Province" or "State / Province" .. (as per the linked thread, he mentions in the backend, but doesn't specify where.)

thanks again.

if ANYONE has an idea on where to change the default end-user copy "STATE" to.. "PROVINCE, or STATE/PROVINCE" .. can you please point me in the right direction?

is it in a language file, template file, etcc? .. i know this is simple, but i've searched a ton of files and cannot find the sollution.

TOOLS ---> TRANSLATIONS.

so I guess I will thank myself?
