How to find the definitions you want to change?

ytadvisors

Hello again,
I am in the process of overhauling all the icons on my forum. Instead of finding the core files, i have been changing things through definitions. How do you find specific definitions? I am trying to find this one as shown in the picture, but cannot do it.
It is the little button you click on to get to Edit Profile.

I have tried things like Profile Options Profile, i mean, can it be this hard?

Had a look at this, still could not find the right one.

you have a few choices, browse around in translations. or identify the file that produces the "thing" you are searching for.

the translation is Hidden. you need to use a web-developer tool - identify the class. then grep for class to find file and than look for translateable item.

in css

add what you need to make the hidden translation appear.

.NavButton .Hidden {
    display: inline;
}

then use

$Definition['Edit Profile'] = "whatever you want.";

OK, i see now. Use CSS to make the definitions become text. I think i have this now. I will post back if i have questions.
EDIT: I was using a developer tool, i just did not know what to look for. Firebug is awesome.

Thanks again.
