See chapter "Creating Your Own Panels" paragraph "The Internationalization 
of custom panels".
If you know (that's not written there), that the custom langpack file will
be read after the common one and replace existent entries, you know
that you shoud simple add your changed text into your custom langpack
with the same key as written in the common langpack file and it works. 
Do not forget to add your custom langpack file as resource (-> docu).
You can also edit the entry in 
$IZPACK_HOME/bin/langpacks/installer/<ISO3>.xml
but that is not the recommended way. With it you have to edit the files
every time you make an IzPack update.

Cheers

Klaus
