My website members experience difficulty navigating my drupal site so I thought of changing the text "create content" to "I would like to"
Same also for the modules. I would like to change the link label "book review" to "talk about a book" & "forum topic" to "post an ad". I'm just going to change the text not the links or anything.
Where do I do that? Because I used my eclipse to search & replace "create content" but it still doesn't reflect the changes. I also checked in the database but "create content" is found only in the cache table.
pls help me

Use Menu Module
A module called Menu comes with the standard installation of Drupal (i.e. you already have it). Turning this on and choosing Administer >> Menus.
Also see the handbook for this module:
http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/menu
yes!!!
yes, you solved my problem!!! thank you!
What about certain labels like "Submit forum topic"? because technically, my forums has been delegated as a classifieds section. Most members are confused when they see "forum topic" under that section. So, I wanted to change that to "Submit new ad".
Honestly, I tried tinkering with the code but it doesn't work.
Why not use Localization?
First I think you should delete the cache for your changes to take affect.
Second I would suggest to use localization for the task:
- Enable the "locale" module
- Create a new custom language. Since "en" for english is already in use, try for example "en-US", if you're living in the US, or en-UK, if your from Great Brittain. You may call this languange setting "Customized UI"
- Disable the default english languange and set "Customized UI" as both default and active.
- Now search for the strings you want to change and add your text as the "translation".
