I think the module (or sub-module within util) as suggested by James is a good idea. The string overrides module works well for simple strings. But if there are tokens in the t() function, it is impossible to use the GUI alone; you must inspect the code and find the t() function in question. <div>

<div><br></div><div>I'd also note that James seems fairly pumped to do this work; why discourage him? Of course we want to minimize duplication. But there is no duplication here. String overrides: dig through the code to find the string you want to override. James proposal: create functionality via the GUI for replacing a specific string, commonly encountered that is harder to override because it has a variable in it. This is apples and oranges. No duplication at all.</div>

Not sure if this really should be an issue as if you are changing strings you should know what you're doing. Especially since you could be impacting things like locale or other modules that depend on those strings.<br>

If StringOverrides does this - and I trust Dave - then by all means use that. This is not something we need to have a duplicate module for.<br>

Again, String Overrides module already does this and does it well. It<br>
doesn't need to go in Util or anywhere else.<br>
