update Language.php
I am doing an English wiki, but I need to customize the language.php file to change the license(I want it to be public domain) and other small details.

Is there an easy way to update this file? If I just make the changes without reinstalling the mediawiki software, I only get a blank home page. If I reinstall everything then it works. Isn't there an easier way for the changes that must be made to this file?

Thanks,
Luke

The user interface messages can be customized through special pages in
the wiki with a "MediaWiki:" prefix. Please see
