Magento – Updating country name in magento 2

country-regionsdirectorymagento2

I need to change the name of country in magento store e.g. United Kingdom needs to be changed to Great Britain. How can I achieve this?

I tried looking at the following tables directory_country_region, directory_country_region_name, directory_country but country full names are not stored here.

I also tried using locale files to see if it updates, but no luck there as well.

Is there any way I can achieve this?

The easiest way for changing the label is by translation.

You need to just make i18N folder in your app/code/namespace/modulename/i18n and just create one CSV file en_US.csv and give translation script over there.

See Example : en_US.csv

"United Kingdom","Great Britain"

No need to do anything for the small change.

Magento – Magento 2: Cacheable false for specific block not working

cacheable=false on a block makes whole page not cacheable. This is how it is designed, so no problem here.

As for your goal - you want to render user-specific content as part of cached page. Such content should not be rendered on server. It should be retrieved from server using customer data JS api (see mini shopping cart), and rendered using JS.

Alternatively you can redirect user to proper country page based and not care about it on magento side.
