Newbie needs help

[spaceman spiff]

ok here's the situation, I'm ok with basic html, and some php, but somehow I've managed to get myself into managing a very large website (that was already made) and its made with OScommerce. i've figured a lot out allready, but i'd like to know how to change the information in the boxes, for instance, whenever i see the command <?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION ?> i can simply remove this command and replace it with what i want, but i would like to actually change whatever it is that TEXT_INFORMATION is pointing too. does this make sense to anybody?

that is defined in the language files.

in those files you will see code such as:

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Information');

'the text 'information' you can then change to whatever you want it to be, do mind that when you use a single quote that you escape it properly i.e. \'

 

on multiple languages you must change it multiple time (each one in its own language)

 

ps. language files you can find in includes/languages/...

thank you very much, that narrows the search down to about 50 or 60 pages which is actually a big help, this thing is a big mess.
