Hello, I have two problems:

1 ) To create a custom page where members can update their “Display Name”. Currently wix is using a dedicated member page that cannot be changed that using under PrivateMembersData database

1. If the above cannot be done, how do I change the members dedicated member page language? Currently its in English. All of my site has been changed using “Regional Setting” but this one page is non editable and sticks with English

help !!

Updating Member Display Name is possible in code.

```javascript
import { members } from 'wix-members-backend';

export function updateDisplayName(id,updatedName) {
	return members.getMember(id)
	.then((member) => {
		member.profile.nickname = updatedName
		return members.updateMember(id,member)
	})
}

```

I don’t believe it is possible for Wix Multilingual to be able to officially translate Member Profile pages. The Translation app seems to be pretty broken and unusable in its current state. If translations into different languages are required, it’s best to write your own code for this (and that’s possibly not easy to perform).
