[TYPO3-dam] Edit the Labels in the backend ... How?

[georg kuehnberger]

Oliver,

Independent of the extension you would like to change, and already 
working with TYPO <= 4.2 the following procedure works just fine:
- create a new extension (say user_dam_custom_georg) with the kickstarter;
- in there add the files tca.php locallang_db.xml ... and do your 
customizations in there.
- install it and take care that your new extension is being loaded 
(installation order) AFTER the original extension.
- this will overwrite the configuration / values whatever of the 
original extension and will survive an eventual update of the original 
extension.

For code-examples you might wanna checkout Rene Fritz' example Extension:

hth, regards georg
