If I wish to change, for example, the words User to Member and Avatar to Picture, do I have to search the software for instances of those terms and manually replace them, or is there a central language file?

wordfilter module is the name of the game.

--update
rereading your post i think what you are looking for is the localization module. sorry for the confusion.

I've enabled the locale module, but don't see any way to use it--no menu item. Is it buried somewhere?

You should get a new item in your administration menu labelled “locale”,
eg: http://www.yoursite.com/admin/locale
or http://www.yoursite.com/?q=admin/locale.

You can them search for the words you want to change in
http://www.yoursite.com/admin/locale/string/search
or http://www.yoursite.com/?q=admin/locale/string/search.

I couldn't see the Localization entry as a user assigned admin role--I had to switch to my original Admin user 1. (Is that a problem?)

But now I see it, and will go from there. Thanks all.

When you add a new module, new permissions will show up for that module under administer - access control. You should check to make these new permissions are set correctly.

Yes, thanks...

Still getting used to this after Mambo. In Mambo, the "super-administrator" automatically has permissions for everything.

That said, I'm not getting usable results.

1. When I do a string search, whether with a blank box or with a good word, I get no results at all.

2. When I try an Export in IE I get a file with the HTML of the page I'm viewing.

3. When I use Firefox or Opera I get:

# LANGUAGE translation of PROJECT
# Copyright (c) YEAR NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>
#
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PROJECT VERSION\n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2005-11-07 22:55-0500\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: YYYY-mm-DD HH:MM+ZZZZ\n"
"Last-Translator: NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n"
"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n"

"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=INTEGER; plural=EXPRESSION;\n"

Have you already created a new language?

I think changes are only applicable to a language other them the original.

You could create a new set using the “Custom language” feature, under “Add language”, and make that new set the default one.

Then you can use the search tool to make your changes to your new language (only the new strings will be used)

By the way, are you using version 4.7.0? The CVS version isn’t funcioning at 100% (at least the last time I checked, I wasn’t able to use the Locale module…)
