Language - trying to use filters in functions.php

I need to change the language from English to Norwegian in a form I am working on.

I have tried to do so by using the filters that I found on the Gravity Forms website.

I added the following code to the functions.php file:

<?php
add_filter("gform_product_price", "set_price_label", 10, 2);
function set_price_label($sublabel, $form_id){
return "Pris:";
}
?>

When saving the file and viewing the results, the website looks good. The change is made...

However, next time I log into the Wordpress I get the white screen of death.

I then have to replace the modified funcions.php file with the original one, and the WP dashboard returns to normal again.

What am I doing wrong?

The file looks like this:

Your not necessarily doing anything wrong, but there are some themes and theme frameworks that don't like the functions.php file being modified. I would recommend you put any custom functions in a separate file from the theme, that way if you change themes or your theme gets an update your changes won't be lost.
1. Create a new folder inside the /wp-content/ folder called mu-plugins
2. Inside /wp-content/mu-plugins/ create a new file called custom-gravity-forms-functions.php
3. Paste the contents of this http://pastie.org/5505551 into the file and save
That's all you have to do, in wp-admin's list of installed plugins you will have a new group called 'must-use' which is where your new plugin will be listed, because it is in the must-use directory the plugin will automatically be enabled.
