Thanks, Joel.  I registered a few hours ago and am awaiting the granting of magical powers. :)

It looks like what I will want to do is to "translate" the English locale and edit the message there.  Is that correct?  Do I also need to commit the change to 5.1 or will it get merged in later from the transation server?

I don't see anything in the translator's guide about how to create new messages when necessary.  What's the process for that?

Sorry if these are repetitive questions;  I haven't had to do much of this so far.  If there is a doc that I should read, feel free to send me off to RTFM.  I just haven't been able to find one so far.
