Joomla Language Overrides
The new xx-XX.override.ini file has been created to avoid this issue. Instead of changing the original file, one can add in a file tagged to the language chosen (en-GB.override.ini for example) any key already existing somewhere among all ini files and a specific value.
The file has to be placed in:
administrator/languages/overrides/en-GB.override.ini
or
languages/overrides/en-GB.override.ini for frontend.
For example, if you add the following value to the override.ini file:
JSAVE="Save now!", then this will replace the JSAVE="Save" throughout your site.
This file will not be uninstalled or overwritten when updating. Since the override file loads last, ALL keys present in your Joomla can be overriden.
