Change the Name of tabs like 'Write' & 'Articles'

OK – I’m doing a favor for a mate – but she can’t seem to get a grasp of articles being articles.

I have her site setup so that each page has one article – so in turn each article is in essence a page.

Is there anyway to change the display name or ‘Articles’ to ‘Pages’?

May be use javascript (jQuery will do this into 1 line code)?

If you are proficient with phpMyAdmin or any other database editor: All texts are stored in th txp_lang table. You’d probably find most of the embarrassing strings with this query:

SELECT *
FROM `txp_lang`
WHERE `lang` = 'en-gb'
AND `event` = 'article'
AND `data` LIKE '%article%'

Then change the data field to your liking. Never update your languages again, that would overwrite your changes.

Thanks for the answers… jQuery looks to difficult for me – looks like its time to fire up phpMyadmin… I’ll backup first though :)

Can you not download the language file as a text file. Make the changes in the text file in your favourite text editor and then load the language file into the admin > prefs > languages pane?

Yes, that’s what I do – very easy.

If you make changes to either the file or the db table, keep in mind that it will be overwritten when upgrading.
