How do I differentiate a text string by category/board?

In our knowledgebase area, we would like the "New Message" button to display "New Article".  The text key for this is...

menubar.button.new_message 

 

However, when this is changed, it also affects the forums area where we would like it to say "New Message".  

 

Is there a way to have this button change text based on the board?   If not, is there freemarker code I could use to create a custom button that behaves the same way?

    As Vishwajeet mentioned, the following does work...

     

     

    menubar.button.new_message  = New ${general.Message}

     

     

    However, if you do a search for the the text key general.Message, you'll see how the magic happens.  Using the @place extension you can specify strings based on location.

     

     

    menubar.button.new_message                        = New Post                         
menubar.button.new_message@place:tkb       = Create New Document

     

     

    Other location values include...

     

    @place:tkb     
@place:board
@place:blog   
@place:idea     
@place:qanda  //question
@place:support
@place:contest

     

    Note you can also use the @message extension for specific types of messages and string them with the @place extension

    Examples...

     

    general.Message@place:blog@message:root     = ${general.Message}
general.Message@place:blog@message:reply    = ${general.Comment}

    Hi dustin,

     

    As this is OOB components using same text-key. You can add a page specific script to change the title of the button as a work around.
