Later on I got a phone call that my changes had become visible meanwhile. Your hint to the cocoon cache gives me a climpse as of what might have happened. Still though, writing in the webapps directory is a quick way for testing, but these changes will be lost as soon as I start over to implement more of the changes we want for our DSpace instance. And there comes the need to know where to put the strings before recompiling them. I guess, your advice would be "put it where it makes sense to you". Well, Ill try to gain confidence, but I find it hard, being surprised every time I touch anything, even if these are positive surprises as was the case this time. > 2) You can add your changes to this main messages.xml file even if > they're for Discovery or any other module, it will work. Your explanation leeds me to the assumption that during compilation all of the separate messages files of the separate modules get merged into one big catalog. Which in turn would mean that it does not matter where I put them in the first place. But well then, it also means that in case I screw it up and put different versions in serveral messages files, I wont know which one wins. Which makes it desirable to know more about the priorities during the merge (if this happens at all, it is only an assumption).

I would not dare to do so. It is not that I am not willing to return some work to the community, I am just afraid that I would make it be even harder for others to find their way, given how confused I am myself about the way things actually work.
