Comment by siovene for Hi, right now word karma comes from the locale file (one of the django.po files inside askbot/locale - according to your selection of the language).So if you want to make this change now - it is possible, but tedious. You will need to edit django.po file, and thange "karma" -> "reputation" in the "msgstr" sections, while taking care not to change "msgid" strings.Thanks, your request will be implemented, there will be a way to enter your word for "karma/reputation" in the "live settings".

Hi, I have a pull request that renames all the instances of karma to reputation. But you will need to do `makemessages` again and translate, if you use languages other than English. https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/pull/101
