If you have an installation of SquirrelMail that's only used by your
client, you could hack the source, even though that's not a good solution.
(I recommend the translation solution Paul suggested instead.) All strings
showing up as links and lables are using the format:
_("This is the text to show")
All you have to do is to replace it with:
_("This is my new text")
But be aware, all translations will cease to work.
Sincerly,
Fredrik.
