sorry i haven't tried this yet so i wanted to ask. i do not see an "over-write" option for phrases, so if a product gets updates, will it over-write the previous phrases?

if so, is there any way to prevent this from happening?

If a product (or vB) is updated it will overwrite all the standard phrases.

To avoid problems, you should never change the contents of a phrase, but always provide a translation instead if you want to make a change. Translations are not removed during an upgrade.

Marco,

I know this is how it's supposed to work, but... there are quite a few reports of translated phrases being deleted when upgrading... to mention some:

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
