You should normally not edit the Language*.php files;

Instead, edit the MediaWiki: pages in the wiki. You can get an overview
table at Special:Allmessages which has edit links for each message.
This was hugely confusing to me also at first. May I suggest that you
add a note to that effect to a comment at the top of each of these
files? I think that would save a lot of confusion for first-time
mediawiki hackers.
