    put this in conf/locale.php or create conf/locale.php if you don't have one

    <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();



$Definition['Discussions'] = 'Posts';
$Definition['My Discussions'] = 'My Posts';
$Definition['All Discussions'] = 'All Posts';
$Definition['Start a New Discussion'] = 'Start a New Post';

    read up on localization in the documentation

    That works perfectly, thanks!

    Can we do comments as replies too?

    You can use that file to change any system based definition.

    It's time for you to learn to do it yourself - you've seen an example...

    Okay, I've done some researching and believe figured it out for the most part. However, there's one last part I can't seem to change. On the category list and on the post lists it says "# discussions" and "# comments." How would you alter that part?

    That was the first thing I tried. However, on the category and discussion lists, where it shows the number of discussions and comments, it doesn't seem to affect it.

    hmmm yea it may not be a system based definition , maybe if you added your own locale file in your theme. But I should research it more, hopefully someone may have an idea..

    Yeah I'll keep looking online, it's odd.

    @SteelVoltage and @vrijvlinder

    taking the guesswork out....

    the way to look for definitions is to search the core and/or plugins for

    T(

    and Translate(

    It takes the guesswork and assumptions out of the equation.

    1) e.g. use grep (available for windows and linux - download the vanilla source and search for grep in discussions on this forum.

    grep -ri ' T(' * | grep -ri "discussions" | more

    or

    2) use the localedeveloper plugin or

    3) download a locale that has a pretty complete translation.

    Three ways to get what you want without assumptions or guesswork. and it doesn't hurt to read the documentation on localization a second and third time.

    I dont talk only about core items, i translated some "word boxes" for example :

    Thanks to everyone who spent sometime for helping us. What about forum.site.com/discussions? This will remain as it is! Is there anyway to change it to match with the definitions?

    I work at a social security office and this would work very nicely at my window/cubicle...but then again it could be misconstrued a asking for tips so it is probably not allowed but it should be on a placard by the entry and the exit.

    I can't create "conf/locale.php" because of the "/". Sorry, I'm totally a noob.
    By the way, could you tell me where do I have to place the file when I finish it?
