Another simple mod for 4.3, but will probably work for earlier versions with a bit of tweaking.

I edited customer/main/subcategories_t.tpl

It originally said this at around line 14:

{if $config.Appearance.count_products eq "Y"}
      {if $subcategory.product_count}        {$lng.lbl_N_products|substitute:products:$subcategory.product_count}
      {elseif $subcategory.subcategory_count}        {$lng.lbl_N_categories|substitute:count:$subcategory.subcategory_count}{/if}
      {/if}

"lbl_N_products" merely says "{{products}} products"
and
"lbl_N_categories" merely says "{{count}} categories"

So I replaced the code above with:

{if $config.Appearance.count_products eq "Y"}
      {if $subcategory.product_count}{$subcategory.product_count} {$lng.lbl_product}{if $subcategory.product_count > 1}s{/if}{/if}
     {elseif $subcategory.subcategory_count}
{$subcategory.subcategory_count}{if $subcategory.subcategory_count = 1}{$lng.lbl_subcategory}{elseif $subcategory.subcategory_count > 1}{$lng.lbl_subcategories}{/if}
    {/if}

Then I added the following labels:
lbl_subcategory "subcategory"
lbl_subcategories "subcategories"

I'm surprised they didn't do it this way in the first place.

Hi Sisom,

I'm trying to install your modification and I was getting a smarty error (Which has since disappeared).

Now it appears to be ok, but no subcategory are showing up.

Can I confirm you created the labels in the languages section of the back end?

Hi BBM, yes, I created the labels in the languages section of the control panel.

Try just putting
{$lng.lbl_subcategory}

somewhere else in the template (i.e. outside the 'if' statements) so that it should definitely be parsed, and then see if it displays 'subcategory' on the page.
