I want to change some text in the drupal forum.
Since the guestbook module do not work with clean urls I am trying to use forum module instead.
But I would like to change the "create forum thread" in danish it is "Opret forumtråd." and maybe some other translations too.

I assume you already have the locale module active and imported the danish tranlation.

To edit a few strings go to http://example.com/admin/locale/string/search and search for the string in question. From the results you can edit the translation.

If you feel comfortable dong that, you can edit the modules/forum/module file and replace every occurrence of the string you want to change (they will all appear inside of a call to a function named t which translates stuff).

Once you do this, load the pages in your Drupal site, and if you don't already have translations for the new strings, you should be able to enter then through the i18n config page.

Another way to do this that I see is to make custom copies of the language file for Danish with the translations that you want, changed. Also for English, although you wouldn't have to take every string into account, just the ones that need changing.

The second way is more of a hack than the first, but the other is a little more technical and has the potential to screw up your site. Hope one of these helps

I would like to do it this way.
I was figuring to edit my current language file and giving it another name, so it wouldnt overwrite my danish.
So hopefully the last question is where do I give it a name?

Do you don´t have the ´opre forumtråd´in your danish translation?

-jeg har downloaded dansk oversættelse lige her omkring nytår. - og hos mig er der opret forumtråd. Jeg har dog de sammen problemer med shoppen.... :)

Held og lykke.
