Problem with Rename Tabs in Admin

[caxy]

Hello,

I am trying to change the wording in the tabs at the top of the page (Home, Accounts, Contacts etc..) and am having some issues. I first noticed there is a utility in the Admin tool called Rename Tabs, it sounds easy enough but it does not seem to work! I go to this utility and click the pencil icon next to the tab I want to update, enter a new value and then use the save button at the top. After I do this, the page seems to reload and the value I entered is where I typed but nothing else seems to have changed (including the Database value), what am I doing wrong?

I am pretty versed in PHP and MySQL so I would be able to do the update manually but I cannot seem to find anything containing this information in the database. As an alternative, I tried to update the language file (en_us_lang.php) but that list is some what incomplete and when I changed the value of the tab, it only changed the wording at the very top of the page, not on the corresponding pages.

I've dome some searching around but everything I seem to find leads me back to the start or seems to detail an older version (I am using the most current release as of 12-19-07)

any ideas?

I just had a similar problem but after trying a few times it completly failed. The system went down with an error on line 1 of a custom language php file. All that had been created on that custom page was the opening php tag....I erased it and resaved and it is back to normal...Tab name remains default.

You can edit \custom\include\language\your_language.php to add (or edit) this type of line :
$app_list_strings['moduleList']['Contacts']='XXXXXX';
