[i18n] Changing en phrases

[Aaron Paetznick]

Thanks for this, and also thanks to Jens and Jan. I decided that even 
though it could get overwritten with a future update, that I will 
continue to work with the *.po locale files and just create a procedure 
for re-changing the phrases if they get overwritten in the future. I 
feel like I'm getting closer, but it's still not working yet. Here's 
what I've done so far:

php --no-php-ini /usr/local/bin/horde-translation init --module="imp" 
--locale="en_US"
vi imp/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/imp.po
php --no-php-ini /usr/local/bin/horde-translation update --module="imp" 
--locale="en_US"


The new phrase is still not showing. Everything seems to run fine, 
except I get this error with both the init and update:

/usr/bin/msgmerge: error while opening 
"/pathname/lib/../locale/compendium.po" for reading: No such file or 
directory


Am I still missing a step? FYI I just confirmed that en_US is my default 
language in my config/nls.local.php file, and the user I'm testing with 
is set to use en_US.
