Change display name not just slugs

[fzeidan]

It would be great if we can change the display words not just the slugs. For example, I can rename the blogs slug to websites. However, its display name is still Blogs.

I would prefer to be able to change that everywhere as well. Replace Friend with Associate for example.

Some people have been doing this with localization (.pot files). Instead of using another language, put in the words you want.

The official way of customizing these strings is by creating your own localization file, as andrea_r stated. ​http://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/
