For Joomla 2.5 and Later Joomla Versions please Skip this first post, since it's deprecated!Altering the Language file - old type - valid for older components, like for example Joomla 1.0.x
For those of you who wants to alter a language file here is a small example of how to do it. The language files are stored in the 'lang' directories of the components (old language files, NOT newer INI files).
All you have to do is replace the words marked in red.
Example 1:
define('but_back','Back');
define('but_close_window','Close this window!');
define('but_new','New');
define('but_save','Save');
define('but_search','Search');
Example 2:
RELATIONSHIP REQUESTS=Relationship requests
FRIENDSHIP REQUESTS=Friendship requests
MESSAGES=Messages
INTERACTIONS=Interactions
