Change label of standard field

[Sutharsan]

I want to change the label of a standard field: change 'Nick Name' to 'Acronym'. How to do this or what are the alternatives?
Versions: CiviCRM 1.9 and Drupal 5.x

Alternatives I considered:

• Making a custom screen (.tpl file) seems too much for this and may not be possible for all situation where 'Nickname' is used.
  
• Translating the field name (as a custom English translation) may be an alternative, but I have found no web-interface for this like Drupal has.
  
• Create a custom field. A custom field is located in a different subform (fieldset) of the (create new Organization) form and not inside the 'Organization' subform.

Creating a custom English translation which transforms that string seems to me the best and easiest approach. Info on how to do this can be found here:

... if you get stuck w/ anything, post your questions on the Translation board so our translation gurus can help :-)
