If you are using Locale, then you can just create a custom english language and change the strings in there. I hadn't realised you were using Locale as using it just for a few string changes is overkill, but if you're using it on a multi-language site anyway, you might as well do the "read more" thing in there.

@Shai,

I haven't tested all possibilities having the Locale module enabled, however my current setting at the time of string override failure was:

- Locale module enabled
- Added an additional language (Spanish)
- Set my language defaut for Locale module to be Spanish, and second language English
- Enabled multilingual support for all content types

When disabling locale module, the content of all nodes had dissapeared leaving only the title.  I was able to get content back by disabling multilingual support in each content type.  However two of my content types would still display Spanish as default language when creating content for those content types.

Luckily I had done a backup using Backup and migrate, which it took all my content and content types to its last good configuration.

I hope this helps,

Christian

@Christian,

Thanks for your persistence and for reporting back. 

I'm thinking of writing a docs page on this. I don't use the Locale module.

Can you just be a little more specific about what happened, how it all works. I'm guessing that if Locale module is turned on then all string overrides get handled by it and other mechanisms are ignored? Is that right?

Please share your insights.

best,

Shai

I figured out why, the string override and editing the settings.php file was not changing the "read more" link, it was the locale module.  A lot of lessons learned.

All your feedback was much appreciated.

I meant the latter.  Creating modules is something you're going to want
to learn how to do if you plan to use Drupal for its strength.  Check
out the documentation[1] page, it'll get you started.  Besides, this
knowledge will help you determine quality of a module you plan to use.
