[support] Contact Form

[Bill Fitzgerald]

Hello, Chris,

I would classify using the core locale module as a best practice for 
changing the wording of text within the application -- I don't know of 
another way of doing this that allows you to make the changes without 
writing new code, and that will be supported via upgrade.php

Cheers,

Bill
