  Hi,
  I'm new to Zikula and really like it but I'm stuck on modifying the language. For instance I want to change "News" at the top of the news main page to "Blog"
  I've taken the module_news.pot file and put it in:
  config/local/news/
  
  and changed:
  

  Code

  #: pninit.php:268 pntemplates/news_user_menu.htm:25
  msgid "News"
  msgstr ""

  
  to
  

  Code

  #: pninit.php:268 pntemplates/news_user_menu.htm:25
  msgid "News"
  msgstr "Blog"

  
  
  But nothing changes on the page. I need to change a lot of other stuff in modules too, profile contact ect. I've found docs relating to translations but seeing I'm only using Engish they don't help me much. I'm sorry if this sounds silly but I'm really stuck with this. A step by step guide to modifying the laguage stings would be a great help.
  
  Thanks for your help

  Please read the Translation Wiki. The POT file should not be edited at all, ever. You need to use POEdit to generate a PO file (from that POT) and place it in en/LC_MESSAGES/module_news.po
  Try not to edit the files manually, but use PO edit.
  
  If you read the Wiki documentation it should become quite clear.
  
  Regards,

  Not only that, but POEdit will also create your MO file for you when saving a PO file ...
