I have text in a dynamic field showing up as circle. I want to say if circle shows up change it to cercle (french).

//here’s the call that circle is coming from:  
rNum = $act.getRandomNum(0,1);  
(rNum == 0)? qType = “circle” : qType = “triangle”;

//here’s my attemp to fix it:  
var newCercle:String = “cercle”;  
if (qType == “circle”){  
newCercle == “cercle”  
}  
thanks!
