  Single quoted

  The simplest way to specify a string is to enclose it in single quotes (the character ').

  To specify a literal single quote, escape it with a backslash (\). To specify a literal backslash, double it (\\). All other instances of backslash will be treated as a literal backslash: this means that the other escape sequences you might be used to, such as \r or \n, will be output literally as specified rather than having any special meaning.

  grep is your friend.

  If it is a translatable definition

  the double quote enclosure way

  $Definition["It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!"] = "My new message -new here";

  or

  the escaped quote way

  $Definition['It looks like you\'re new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!'] = "My new message -new here";

  but it may not be translatable -

  if you look in applications/dashboard/modules/class.guestmodule.php

  It seems like there is more to it than adding a definition.

      class GuestModule extends Gdn_Module {
  
         public $MessageCode = 'GuestModule.Message';
         public $MessageDefault = "It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!";
  
         public function AssetTarget() {
            return 'Panel';
         }
  
         public function ToString() {
            if (!Gdn::Session()->IsValid() && C('Garden.Modules.ShowGuestModule'))
               return parent::ToString();
  
            return '';
         }   
  
  }
  

  I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
