What’s the best way to modify UI text?  
For example, I want to replace “All Categories, All Tags, +New Topic” among other text, without reverting it in automatic updates.

This can be done from your site’s Admin / Customize / Text section. Have a look at this topic for details: [Customize text in Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/customize-all-text-in-discourse/36092). If you have any trouble figuring out the name of the key to customize, give the method that is outlined in this topic a try: [Find a translation key with verbose localization](https://meta.discourse.org/t/find-a-translation-key-with-verbose-localization/134651).
