The easiest way (though it's kind of hackish) is to use the locale module. Just make a new locale, start it with a copy of the english one (or whatever the language of the site is) then "translate" the parts you want to change. Use that for your site's default locale.

The cleanest way to do that currently is to use the translation system. Enable the locale module in core. Define a new language that is a "custom English", visit the pages you want to translate to build up the cache, and enter translations from "User name" to "User ID". It's kinda weird, but it works. :-)

That said, I'm not sure why you'd need to in that case.

Hi all,

Would like to know, if there is any way I can change the field 'Username' into 'UserID' in the account information in Drupal.

Kindly help me in this regard.

Thanks Abuthahir
