More specifically, it is also possible to avoid duplicating the entire
forms catalogue by having a config like this:
<map:transformer name="i18n"
src="org.apache.cocoon.transformation.I18nTransformer">
<catalogues default="default">
<catalogue id="forms" name="messages">
<location>path/to/custom-i18n</location>
<location>resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/system/i18n</location>
</catalogue>
<catalogue id="default" name="Messages" location="path/to/i18n"/>
</catalogues>
</map:transformer>
The path/to/custom-i18n directory would contain a file called
messages(_lang).xml in which you only need to redefine the messages you
want to change.
