Problem in translating a label in frontend web site

[clarenceho]

I try to perform a simple translation to translate the label "Sign In" in the frontend web site.

What I did was follows:

- Create a new theme

- Create a folder "i18n" under the theme folder

- Create a file en_US.csv with the following content:

  - "Sign In", "Log On"

- Apply the new theme

- Go to Admin and flush all caches

However, I can still only see "Log In" in frontend, instead of "Log On".

I am sure that the new theme was effective as I also changed the logo and able to see it.  

Can anyone advice what may be the error, or how I can troubleshoot the problem why Magento doesn't pick up the translation file?

Thanks in advance

I found that during installation, I chose "Chinese Hong Kong" as the locale.

When I go to admin and change the locale back to en_US, then the new label is working.

Thanks
