I am coming across a very frustrating problem. I want to rename my content types "Human readable name" but they keep on reverting back to the old name the instant I press save content type. I even went inside the database to change the content type name but it still reverted to the old name. The only method that works is if i also change the system name "the machine-readable name of the content type" before the name can be changed. But some are not editable since it says "This field cannot be modified for system-defined content types." so i cannot change the name in the human readable section nor the machine readable name.
I am using drupal 5.x
could this be a bug? or am i doing something wrong?

Others may be able to help you with the more technical side of things, but you could just use customised language/string replacement module in order to make, for example, "blog" always appear as "journal".

I even get the message The content type <Human readable name> has been updated.

I had once a time this error.
In my case, it was because the i18n module breaks a default Drupal behavior. I don't really know if this bug is still here.
Read http://drupal.org/node/300167
It may be the source of your problem.

Great that was the problem, It disabled *i18n - content types renamed it and enabled it again but that didnt work, it went back to the original*name. What I had to do was go to the internationalization *String *settings, then look for the string that represented that content type then i set it.
