Hi guys,

I am creating a yahoo answers kind of site, its almost done at the basic level. U can see it here

http://www.ask.computerkid.co.in/answers/

Here the answers are posted as comments. I would like to rename the "Comments" appearing here to "Answers". I am a newbie to drupal. Can anyone of you please guide me through it.

Thanks in advance.

I can't recall if the text for comment comes from either the template or from Drupal itself. If it's in the template you'll need to find it in the appropriate .tpl files, but if it comes from Drupal then I believe it can be done by creating a translation and in that translation changing the word comment/s to answer/s.

I've never done this myself so feel free to correct me if I am wrong though :)

Try this module:

http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides

It can override all instances of t().

Just replace the word "Comments" with "Answers"

Thank you for that module.
Not tried it yet but think it'll do the job

In love and light ,

You can also use the core Locale module, see HOWTO: Creating a customized language set to replace Drupal terminology.

If there is a way to do so?
I have a live site with other node types, so I want that "comments" will be "answers" only for "questions" :)
Thanks for help
