Hi all, been googling a lot for this without finding any answers.
I have a site where the content, menues etc. are in Norwegian, but the only interface language installed is English. This is fine with me, as I prefer to manage Drupal in English.
However, I wish to translate the contact module to Norwegian, as this is the only interface language normal users (guests) will see. I have tried to add Norwegian as a language, set it as default, and then import the .po file. This works, but completely messes up my pathauto settings (which is another problem I haven't found a solution to).
But as this is only a few terms ("contact", "your name", "subject" etc.) I figured the easiest solution for me would be to just change these terms in the default language file, but how can I do that? If I only have one language installed I am not able to edit the terms from translate interface -> search -> edit string, nor can I find the .po file for the contact module within the modules/contact folder..?
All help appreciated!

String overrides
Answering my own question for Google, the String overrides module solved this problem for me, without any pathauto issues!
