How do I edit e-mail messages?

How do I easily edit which e-mail messages are being sent through my set-up of Vanilla forums [www.toneelgroepantwerpen.be]?
Specifically, I mean the e-mail when a new member is invited, I would love to change it into a simple Dutch message.
I can't manage to find a plug-in to do it, nor can I find the text anywhere in my set-up. Thanks a bunch in advance!

Welcome to the community!
What version of Vanilla are you running?
I believe you are looking for locale definitions for email.
In
/applications/dashboard/locale/en-CA/definitions.php
you will find some default translation strings. Copy the definitions you want to change and place them in/conf/locale.php
. Then change to your heart's desire!Some definitions have variable placeholders. The email invite definition is
$Definition['EmailInvitation']
and has%1$s
,%2$s
,%3$s
.%1$s
represents the person inviting,%2$s
is the name of the forums, and%3$s
is the registration Url. Be sure to include%3$s
in your new definition.Search first

What you said works in Version 2.0.18.8 (which I'm running), couldn't find it anywhere myself! Thanks a bunch, you're my hero!
One more quick question, where can I find the invitation-subject, now it says: [site-title]: Invitation, I would love to be able to change that as well!
Again thanks a million!
$Definition['[%s] Invitation'] = 'You are invited to the very elite and luxurious %s!';
