msgunfmt osso-system-lock.mo.orig -o osso-system-lock.po
nano osso-system-lock.po #edit the swipe string
msgfmt osso-system-lock.po -o osso-system-lock.mo
scp osso-system-lock.mo root@192.168.0.5:/usr/share/locale/it_IT/LC_MESSAGES/

Thanks. Used a similar method and changed the application title to include owner information as follows.

Code:

cd /usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/

cp osso-system-lock.mo osso-system-lock.mo.orig

mv osso-system-lock.mo /home/user/MyDocs

Plugged in to desktop. Select Mass Storage.
Mounted N900 copied folder to desktop in Downloads.
Open Terminal on Desktop

Code:

cd Downloads

msgunfmt osso-system-lock.mo -o osso-system-lock.po

vi osso-system-lock.po

Edited following parts to:-

Code:

msgid "secu_application_title"

msgstr "Enter lock code or return to Onwer:- (just enough space for postcode and phone number)"

Code:

msgid "secu_swipe_to_unlock"

msgstr "Sweep to unlock"

Save file copy back to N900 MyDocs
Eject N900

Code:

cp osso-system-lock.mo /usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/

EDIT:
If you've optified /locale you will need to reboot.
