The text content can be somewhat customized. The GForge internationalisation system already provides a way to have different texts depending on user choice.
You might want to change page footers, or contact pages, or host names, or whatever you need to integrate your GForge your target audience (company, organisation, or even your own personal GForge).
The way you should usually go when you have to customize some text is the following:
Find the bit of text you want to customize in Foobaric.tab
;
Copy and paste the appropriate line (including the “handle” -- the first two fields) in /etc/gforge/languages-local/Foobaric.tab
or for theme specific customization in /etc/gforge/languages-local/<theme>/Foobaric.tab
;
Read it to find out about the $n variables;
Replace the third field with my own customized version.
If you use the localization caching system, remove cache files.
