Hi Henro, congratulations on finding a fix for your problem

If I could offer some advice that may save you a lot of trouble in the future: try to find a solution that does not involve directly editing the source code of CiviCRM. Doing so will make your life very difficult with each upgrade.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do but I think there is probably another solution. Can you explain in more detail what problem you were trying to solve? Was it:

- Translating the interface? In that case please see http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/i18n+Administrator%27s+Guide
- Overriding an existing translated string? In that case try the "word replacement" option.
- Just adding an extra character to one field? In that case you could do it with a little css: http://css-tricks.com/almanac/selectors/a/after-and-before/
