Description
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I tried following the 4 steps installation but it doesn't seems to be changing the specified string.
As per example, I tried changing "My Account" to "My Profile" and even after clearing and disabling the cache, it didn't change.
Thanks,

I believe you're looking for "My account", note the small "a" ;-) .
#2
I had menu changed to Account so it's "My Account" and even I tried changing other strings for e.g.
"The %post has been updated." to "The %post has been updated by String override."
It's same problem, nothing gets updated.
Thanks,

If you changed it, then that's not the default value that's passed through the t() function to String Overrides. I can't really help you if I don't know what you changed. If you reset the menu item to the default, and then change it with "My account", it will work, because that's what's passed through String Overrides.

Same here, i'm trying to change the word "Submitted" in the teasers, tried both 6.x-1.7 and 6.x-1.x-dev, but "Submitted" is still there. I suppose i could change the node.tpl.php

"Submitted"? Where's that showing up? It requires the full string......... "Invalid categories submitted."? "Submitted by !username on @datetime."? "Submitted by !username on @datetime"? It won't work for single words.

You do have to look out for spaces. It didn't work for me until i noticed there were spaces in de t() I wanted to overide. In my case I wanted to change:
t('Posted ') one space
t(' by ') two spaces, one before and after by
Hope this helps...
Great module... THANX

Brilliant. Thank you Rob for your answer, obviously I hadn't grasped the way it worked.
