All language string should be localized and stored in the language section. You have a full featured language editor with every installation of OpenMeetings, check out the LanguageEditor .

To lookup the labelids in the GUI you can simply run OpenMeetings client with the debug enabled. That way every text-string has the labelid in brackets additionally in the textfield. To start the client in debug mode just add the param ?swf=maindebug.swf8.swf to the URL. Example: http://localhost:5080/openmeetings/?swf=maindebug.swf8.swf

If you would like to change the standard email layout or add for example some footer in every email you have to change the email templates.

To do that: Stop the Red5/OpenMeetings-Service Goto: $Red5_HOME/webapps/openmeetings/WEB-INF/lib/openmeetings-templates.jar Unzip: openmeetings-templates.jar (this is a usual ZIP file, you can rename it to openmeetings-templates.zip unzip, edit the files, zip it again and rename it to openmeetings-templates.jar)

In openmeetings-templates.jar there are all template files. They have the file extension .vm (VM stands for velocity-template). After you have done your changes you need to (re)start the Red5/OpenMeetings -Service so that changes are online.
