Wasn't sure what keywords to search with, but I'm sure this has been asked before:

Is it possible to replace terms/verbiage in a module especially Organic Groups? For examples, is it possible to use another word ('herd', 'clique', ...) in place of 'group'? Also to replace 'audience' with another word?

Thanks.

You can load up any module in a code/text editor and change anything you want. It's not a great idea though, because all of your changes are lost when you update the module. I wonder if you could do it at the template level?

Hi,

Use the translation interface to change strings, better not to translate inside the module. So you have to load the locale.module in core. You can create another language "custom" or I think you can modify english directly.

Check it out, it's the way to go I think.

That does seem to be the way to go. Could you point me towards documentation for using that module? I've looked at http://drupal.org/translators and have been tooling around without getting anywhere. Thanks.

Hey there,

Just activate the module and the create a new language. Once you have a new language created, start translating some strings.

By default all the strings that are not translated will remain in english, so enable the new language by default and just search for the strings you want to change, and change them!

hope this helps,
Patchak

Just found http://drupal.org/node/24593 which repeats what you said. Appreciate the pointers!
