Change menu items labels in wordpress admin area?

Question

Is there a way to change the labels of the menu items inside the admin area? Like when you register a new custom post type when you can specify every label for it, but for the default menu items.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_post_to_article' );
add_filter( 'ngettext', 'change_post_to_article' );

function change_post_to_article( $translated ) 
{  
    $translated = str_replace( 'Post', 'Article', $translated );
    $translated = str_replace( 'post', 'article', $translated );
    return $translated;
}

There is another way to do this, for more info check this answer.
