Has anyone ever considered a locale_light module which allows a developer to specify some strings in an array, and just use those to translate small strings.
I've often wanted to change strings (blog to journal for instance) , but the entire locale module is incredible overkill for my purposes.
As Morbus said, the "drop back and punt" answer is rarely a good one. However, you can do that now with the locale module without too much difficulty. Just create a new locale called "English-Custom" or similar, attached to en-us. Then visit the page you want to edit a string on (to get it into the database table), then go and enter new text for that string. I did that recently for a project with a client and it worked out quite well. (We wanted to rename "user" to "Team user" and various other similar changes.) Some posted instructions on how to use locale that way would be good, but it's not necessary to make a new module for it. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@garfieldtech.com ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
