[i18n] Changing en phrases

[Aaron Paetznick]

It works now! Here is the high-level procedure that ended up working for me:

php --no-php-ini /usr/local/bin/horde-translation init --module="horde" 
--locale="en_US"
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 make --module="imp" 
--locale="en_US"
*restart apache*


The final trick was to init horde before the app, and remember to 
restart the web server. PHP must keep the translation information in 
memory? Anyways, thanks to everyone for all the help!
