Wording templates apply to [PDF Templates](https://knowledge.lightico.com/v1/docs/en/getting-started-creating-esign-documents) and [External Documents](https://knowledge.lightico.com/v1/docs/en/add-external-documents-in-a-workflow) with an [overlay template](https://knowledge.lightico.com/docs/new-pdf-builder-configure-pdf-settings#save-the-template-as-an-overlay-for-ad-hoc-pdfs). > [!NOTE] > Note > > Wording templates are supported only when the [Format and design > Language](https://knowledge.lightico.com/docs/format-design#language) setting is defined as **English**. For example, you can change the label on the **Approve** button to read **I approve**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/image-1724832769626.png) You can also customize some of the wording on the audit trail. For example, you can change "esigned" to "digitally signed". ![](https://cdn.document360.io/473bb8c5-ff1b-4930-8109-2321ac6ab967/Images/Documentation/Snag_27cef39b.png) In the **Customizations** > **Wording** page you'll find a table of all wording that can be changed in the UI and audit trail. Note:A wording template only affects the specific PDF Template or overlay template to which you associate it (see below). ## Outline Here is an outline of the steps for customizing wording of the customer UI for a PDF Template: 1.
