Hi Sam,
There is no direct way of changing it, you have to probably understand the internationalisation in Confluence. However, if you are using the Default Theme:
The call to display the menu is defined in <confluence-install>/confluence/decorators/includes/content-navigation.vm
The velocimacros are defined in <confluence-install>/confluence/template/includes/menu-macros.vm. You should be able to see the definition of those velocimacros inside. For the "Add" button, the name is represented by $action.getText("system.content.add.menu")
Open upConfluenceActionSupport.properties in the <confluence-install>/confluence/WEB-INF/lib/confluence-x.y.z.jar\com\atlassian\confluence\core
Change the value for "system.content.add.menu" to something that you want
Put the file back into the JAR. Restart Confluence.
Please note that this will require the default language to be set to (bundled) English.
