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](https://meta.discourse.org/categories)
- The heading “Categories” upon clicking the hamburger
- etc

Basically, everywhere there is a depiction of “Category” or “Categories”

Thanks!
