I'm trying to modify the strings biblatex
uses to set the "cited on" string used in the bibliography to identify the pages where a given references has been cited.
What I gather from the biblatex
documentation (e.g., ยง 4.9.2.16) is that something like
\renewbibmacro{backrefpage}{<newtext>}
\renewbibmacro{backrefpages}{<newtext>}
ought to work, but they have no effect for me (I'd also like to get this working for the "visited on" string, urlseen
).
My MWE is unchanged from How do I turn titles into hyperlinks in verbose mode using BibLaTeX and hyperref?, with the addition of these (and related lines) just about anywhere.

The original definitions (full and abbreviated version) can be found in the language-specific
.lbx
files. Here's the relevant code snippet fromenglish.lbx
:These strings are declared using the
\DeclareBibliographyStrings
command which is only available in.lbx
files. Outside these files, you have to use\DefineBibliographyStrings
which "overrides both the full and the abbreviated version of the string" (biblatex
manual, section 3.8).
