Would it be possible to change “Categories” to “Departments” across the entire application? This would affect: the dropdown menu “all categories” on the front page The column heading “Category” on the list of topics The “Categories” tab on the front page The heading “Category” on Categories - Discourse Meta The heading “Categories” upon clicking the hamburger etc Basically, everywhere there is a depiction of “Category” or “Categories” Thanks!

Navigate to admin/customize/text content and search for “categor” (not a typo: this will match both “categories” and “category”). There are a whole bunch of them,but you can change them all to whatever you want.

Thanks for confirming what pfaffman said!
