Trouble changing "Create Contact" shortcut under Home module

[mdbusse]

Let's start with the usual: I'm running Sugar 5.2.0a, on Ubuntu 8.10, Apache 2.2.9, MySQL 5.0.67.

I'm having a minor problem: we want to replace the word "Contact" with "Customer." I've been able to make this change everywhere except in the Home module: under shortcuts, "Create Contact" remains there.

I first tried doing this by altering the mod_string value in sugarroot/modules/Home/language/en_us.lang.php.
'LNK_NEW_CONTACT' => 'Create Customer' is there-but it didn't take.

I bounced this off a colleague, and he pointed out that what I was doing was not upgrade safe. So now I have the following in sugarroot/custom/Extension/modules/Home/Ext/Language/en.lang.us.php

<?php
//Created based on suggestions provided by colleague.
$mod_strings = array (
'LNK_NEW_CONTACT' => 'Create Customer'
);

?>

This doesn't work, either.

Permissions are as they should be, so I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Generally change language files in Studio (labels). If the field in question isn't available there go under custom/modules/yourmodule/language/yourcoutrycode.lang.php (e.g. en_uk.lang.php)
If the directory and/or files do not exist - create them. Run recreate js lang files (under repair)

The entries on the home screen work on the same way but there is one extra step needed: change your translation in custom/modules/home/...lang.php and then go to cache/modules/Home/language and DELETE ....lang.php. Run a quick repair

That's done the trick.

I'd thought that running the repair and rebuild cleared the cache, but it looks like I was wrong. I have several other weird problems I think might be caused by similar issues-is there any reason to not just blast everything in the cache?

I did-but it looks like cache was causing my problem. I'd already tried the methods you suggested in that thread.

No idea really why this particular piece (and some others) don't get rebuilt. One of the great unsolved mysteries...
Blasting the entire cache is not a very good idea because on this way you destroy all your uploads (i.e. documents that you attached).

That would be a problem if we had any.
