XF 2.2 Change the text of like

The problem I found with changing the phrase is that it renames like to react in lots of other places. Not just in the reaction menu.

Separate phrases for Like and Reaction menu/list in posts

Currently in order to add a reaction, the user clicks on the word "Like" even though they may want to use some other reaction such as "dislike" This seems a bit counterintuitive because that word "Like" is just opening up the list or menu of different reactions. So you may want to change the...
