Sam,
Please find attached a few slides that I have chopped from a Blackboard PP.  Note slide 4 which highlights a "Language Pack Editor".  Does this address the issue that has been raised on the list?  It looks like we can change a lot more than a few words with this tool.

regards,
Arthur Loughran

Hello all,
 
After a meeting with Blackboard last week, we were told that an English
UK language pack is not in the pipeline for the next version.  But it is
possible to change certain words that blackboard uses to describe
objects/functions in version 7.  I think the date is also changeable
easily in this version.
 
Regards
Sam

Hi Najib,

This will not get all of the dates but we have updated:

calendar_timestamp (BBI18N.06665) in
/usr/local/blackboard/content/locale/<your locale in
use>/messages/DateSettings.properties.

That has fixed some.

	Hi,

	Is there any way of getting English (UK) date format? 

	Is there any way to change spelling e.g color and enrol etc?
