[Plugin: GD Star Rating] Change the words "votes cast" that are output

I would like to change the words “votes cast” that are output by GD Star Rating, and remove the word “cast”.

For the record; I have spent a couple of hours on what would seem a fairly straight forward customization, and have not been able to resolve. Have worked through the documentation, but no luck. Unfortunately searching Google for “Change wording GD Star Rating – votes cast”, only returns websites that are using the plugin… Google seems to return sites that display the words in their own rating systems… not helpful.

The main reason to make this change is to fit the displayed stars and words into the layout – I have customized the positioning of the stars in my theme and tweaked the CSS, but I wish to place a little graphic before the stars that will say “RATE ME!”, and there currently is not room to do this without removing or compacting something.

eg: http://i.padaccessories.info/ipad-screen-protector.

Taking out the word “cast” would be perfect.

The closest I have come to solving this is finding a template in the rating plugin’s admin area for the word “vote” or “votes”, using this I can modify the word “vote” in “votes cast”, but cannot modify the word “cast” or its display.

Any tips appreciated.
