I tend not to do so. Most “regular” people would not even be able to understand how to do it.

A more generic solution would be to create a plugin that allows overriding ANY translatable string (I’d make it a core functionality, to be fair, as I proposed early a few times already). Customizing text, captions and icons per-setup is crucial for adapting the look and feel to various communities.
