I posted this on the ubuntu forum too, but here it is too:

I figured out how to change the “Applications”, “Places” and “System” titles in the gnome-panel. Basically you have to create a new translation file for those words and put it in en_US. If you aren’t using the US local, you can add/change the gnome-panel-*.mo file to whatever you want it to be.

For en_US people here’s the steps.

1) Make a new text file which has something like this in it:

Code:

msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: gnome-panel trunk\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2008-05-26 00:59+0000\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2008-05-26 00:59+0000\n"
"Last-Translator: YOUR NAMR\n"
"Language-Team: None\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=1; plural=0;\n"
"X-Launchpad-Export-Date: 2008-04-16 01:47+0000\n"
"X-Generator: Launchpad (build Unknown)\n"

msgid "Applications"
msgstr "YOUR NAME FOR APPLICATIONS"

msgid "Places"
msgstr "YOUR NAME FOR PLACES"

msgid "System"
msgstr "YOUR NAME FOR SYSTEM"

2) In a terminal run “msgfmt THE-FILENAME-OF-THE-TEXT-FILE”

3) Then run “sudo mv messages.mo /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-panel-2.0.mo”

4) Then run “pkill gnome-panel” and it’ll work.

Here’s a screen shot to show some changes:

Morning all. Well I finally got a N810 internet tablet yesterday. It’s a really nice little device that can do a hell of a lot for not much money. I can even post blogs from it, like this one.

Once I have played with it for a while I’ll give a more indept review of it.
