Redmine

I'm trying to write a plugin that adapts redmine to be more amenable to certain crafts in motion picture post-production; I'm a sound supervisor myself, but it could also be applied to things like visual effects. I'd like the views to use a slightly different terminology: "Issues" should be "spots," and "Trackers" should be "Departments," etc, and it seems like the most efficient way of doing this might be just rewriting some of the English localizations.

Is there any way of overriding the English localizations in a plugin? I'd rather not edit the normal English localizations and have my own private version of redmine, I'd like it to be a plugin that just rewrites the text when present.
