I am trying to change "Media" to "Photos" on the Public Navigation page but it will not let me modify the existing name. What is the trick?
 
You go to phrases in ACP and change the phrase. (ACP > Appearance > Phrases > search phrase)

I don't have Media Gallery but the phrase for navigation will be called something link nav.media

Otherwise I think you can change the actual navigation entry by activating developer mode in config.php but the above is probably the "proper" way to do it.

I could not find anything like link nav.media. I did a search for "link" and "nav" to scan all instances of "media" in Phrases, but never found one that controls the name in the Navigation bar.

I guess I'll try developer mode.
 
$config['development']['enabled'] = true;

This did not allow me to make the change on the Public Navigation page either.

I'm stuck.

I think what you're looking for is

nav.xfmg​
