Magento uses notification messages to improve user experience. You can simply add any message using the Message Manager to notify users whether the result of an action is successful or not.

In this blog post we will cover one type of the notifications – Admin System Messages. This type of notifications will be shown in a pop-up block and will be present in the admin panel as a reminder for an admin user until a special condition is met. These notifications can vary from messages about invalidated indexes to vulnerability issues. Adding custom system messages can be helpful and we are going to show you how to do it in few simple steps.

From time to time, we have to manipulate with the messages in Magento. It is really easy if you just change the message text – in this case, you can simply open a corresponding translation file in the current package “locale” directory or “app/locale” with your favorite text editor and change an appropriate message without editing any template files.
