Reply To: Changing "Friends" to "Connections" ?
It’s a matter of finding the exact syntax.
This works in the function I provided.
case 'Friends <span class="%s">%s</span>':
return 'Connections <span class="%s">%s</span>';
A gettext filter is a reasonable approach if there are one or two labels that need to be changed.
But there are so many different places where ‘Friend’ or some variation is used that in your case you should definitely use a .mo file.
