Sure, and after the next upgrade/downgrade of Kodi, your changes will be gone.
If it were accessible then a couple of minutes to reupload wouldn't be problem. But on other platforms my change survived the updates.
You'll need to recompile the LE image with the changes applied as a git patch to the original sources, or you use another distro that supports your hardware which has more conventional OS packaging that allows files in /usr/share to be edited.
I knew of the recompile option. I was just hoping to avoid doing that so I could stay on the main branch of updates. May I ask why Libreelec is so locked down? Also is it normal for my post to be disabled until approved? I'm new here so I don't know how things are done on the forum.

The English (eng_GB) language texts for the Kodi core system is the default/source language, and can only be changed by Team Kodi. What would be the problem?
The Libreelec platform is locking "/usr/share/kodi/addons/resource.language.en_gb/resources/strings.po" . On Windows or Linux I can make the changes I want.

You need to clone the skin files to /storage/.kodi/addons/<skin> and change the skin name (to avoid namespace clashes) and then make changes to the (now writeable) skin files. Then stop/restart Kodi and select your modified skin name.
But the strings.po file that I want to change is not the one for the skin. I want to change the one for the system.

I would like to change some wording in Kodi on Libreelec 9.2.0
The problem I'm having is "/usr/share/kodi/addons/resource.language.en_gb/resources/strings.po" is not able to be overwritten. I am SSH in and don't have rights to change it. I have my custom strings.po file I just need help getting it in there.
