Hi :)

I would like to modify this "browse" link at the top of every page and change it into "gallery". The reason being, "browse" is highly specific to English, and I swear most non-english users don't understand it. Or they don't want to click it, because even those who can relate "browse" to anything relate it to "internet browser", and start thinking that they are going to have to do some typing/validating/searching (like Google search and whatnot) on the photoblog they are visiting.

Yes I did the test, several times, with people who actually are quite good at english :)

Meanwhile :
french : "galerie"
italien : "galleria"
spanish : "galeria"
...

So, although "gallery" might not exactly be relevant, we still have better understanding, simply because people are used to see "gallery" used... for pages that display thumbnails of artworks.

I hope someone can help (and that it's a simple tweak, because I'm not a developper), and I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, I couldn't find it.

Thanks in advance, cheers.

Look for this code in all of your xxx_template.html

<li><a href="index.php" title="Return to Homepage">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="<SITE_BROWSELINK>" title="Browse">Browse</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?x=about" title="About">About</a></li>


and change it to:

<li><a href="index.php" title="Return to Homepage">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="<SITE_BROWSELINK>" title="Browse">Gallery</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?x=about" title="About">About</a></li>


You'll have to change it in all your _templates.
image_template.html, browse_template.html, about_template.html, ...

Hope this will help. :)
