I am coming across a very frustrating problem. I want to rename my content types "Human readable name" but they keep on reverting back to the old name the instant I press save content type.
I even went inside the database to change the content type name but it still reverted to the old name.
The only method that works is if i also change the system name "the machine-readable name of the content type" before the name can be changed. But some are not editable since it says "This field cannot be modified for system-defined content types." so i cannot change the name in the human readable section nor the machine readable name.

I even get the message The content type has been updated.

I am using drupal 5.x

could this be a bug? or am i doing something wrong?

CCK doesn't handle content types, core's node.module does.

Please update the issue description with the actual drupal core version you are using.

BTW : this *works* in a regular drupal 5 install, so this is most probably a conflict of some sort.

This is actually a bug with "i18n - content types"
I disabled i18n - content types renamed it and enabled it again but that didnt work, it went back to the original name. What I had to do was go to the internationalization String settings, then look for the string that represented that content type then i set it.
