Re: Re: When upgrading to a new version of tikiwiki, what changes to my site will be kept?
Yes, the language file editing will change the text wherever it appears, so probably the alternative is to edit the template file(s). As Rick mentioned, if you make a custom theme and modify .tpl files there, then your changes will be preserved through Tiki upgrades, but if you want to keep your files up to date, you'll need to do the editing again any time the default templates change. Probably if the changes are minimal and if you keep track of them, it wouldn't be hard to do (speaking as a guy who updates a bunch of theme files at mods.tiki.org for every Tiki release).
