Changing system terminology

Question

Im upgrading to 10, and want to change some of the system terminology, for example 'Blog' to 'Newsfeed', 'Friends' to 'Colleagues' etc. 
 Anyone know where I do this?

The exhaustive default list is, in fact, only those 26 items. Site terms are unfortunately a somewhat legacy feature that are difficult to extend for multiple cultures and rarely consumed by the UI. While you may find changing them useful, I'd suggest you still investigate resource string exports/imports, as these phrases will likely appear more often than not directly within resource strings rather than as term references. 
 That said, here is the default set:

article_lowercase 
 document

article_propercase 
 Document

friend_lowercase 
 friend

friend_propercase 
 Friend

friends_lowercase 
 friends

friends_propercase 
 Friends

friendship_lowercase 
 friendship

friendship_propercase 
 Friendship

friendships_lowercase 
 friendships

friendships_propercase 
 Friendships

group_lowercase 
 group

group_propercase 
 Group

groups_lowercase 
 groups

groups_propercase 
 Groups

page_lowercase 
 document

page_propercase 
 Document

pages_lowercase 
 documents

pages_propercase 
 Documents

wiki_lowercase 
 documentation

wiki_page_lowercase 
 document

wiki_page_propercase 
 Document

wiki_pages_lowercase 
 documents

wiki_pages_propercase 
 Documents

wiki_propercase 
 Documentation

wikis_lowercase 
 documentation

wikis_propercase

In addition to site terms, you may find it helpful to adjust the resource strings in your themes and widgets as well, as many do not always consume the terms defined in Administration > Translation > Terms. 
 Resources can be safely customized individually directly in themes and widgets in Widget Studio and Theme Studio. Or if you want to do many at once, those resources can also be exported en masse to XML files, adjusted, and re-imported. 
 For widgets, it's in Administration > Interface > Widgets > (three dots icon) > Export All Resources. Subsequently, an adjusted resource file can be re-applied with in Administration > Interface > Widgets > (upload icon). 
 If you are on 10.2 or later, it's the same process in Theme Studio. (Administration > Interface > Themes).

Hi Arlo,
