How to change form_set_error() message in captcha module

Question

I need to reset the default error message in the captcha module when you enter the wrong answer.

captcha.module line 616

form_set_error('captcha_response', t('The answer you entered for the CAPTCHA was not correct.'));

I'm not quite sure where this needs to be done. Preprocess function?

Thanks, Josh

Check out String Overrides module. It allows you to override any translatable string (anything that uses t()) and is very convenient for overriding some text that is shipped with other modules.

If you want to do it without installing new modules - uncomment and edit this in the settings.php file (line ~458):

# $conf['locale_custom_strings_en'][''] = array(
#   'forum'      => 'Discussion board',
#   '@count min' => '@count minutes',
# );
