How to change labels, if you want

Dear all, we receive very often some requests on change of labels.

Example …. just some minutes ago:
I do have one question – why in the e-mail area do you change naming formats from “new mail” to “mail read”?  Given that in English present and past of the verb “to read” are the same, this is a little confusing, and my mother always stumbles at this point.  Could it be changed in future to (for example) “new, un-read mail” and “old, read mail”?  This way there can be no confusion.

I think the “mail read” has to be thought twice by our English speakers; while they feedback us on it, we explain how to change a label to your preference.
This is for windows but linux/mac is just the same:

- go to c/program files/eldy /lang directory
there you find a list of directory, one for every language:
“ae” is for american English, while “en”  is for English, etc.

- inside the ae or en there’s “lang.eldy” file
make a copy of it and put it in a safe place

-then edit the file “lang.eldy” with notepad or any easy editor (don’t use word!).

- look for “mail read” label and change it to your preference.

- do same with any other labels you might want to change

- restart Eldy: you should see now your label where before was “mail read”.

hope this helps you all to customize labels to your preferences!
