Simple question, how do I change the name of new items such as new weapons so they don't read something like "rep_weap_inf_new_rifle" in the game?

Use the localization tool. In data_***, look for editlocalize.bat

Will that work with modded weapons?

Yes; under weapons (which is a 'scope'), find your team. Under that team's scope, add a new key (right-click on the team name).

Everything else is pretty self explanatory.

Instead of asking whether or not it will work, why not first try it out to see for yourself? :p

It didn`t do anything. I have the modded weapons that in game have the same names as their odf`s. I tried adding a new key, put in the name of the weapon I want to have a REAL name, but no changes were there.
I`ve never done anything like this before apart from changing the names of a couple things, nothing like adding new keys and stuff

If it's not working, you're not doing it correctly. You can read more on it here.

Also, if you are expecting it to work right off the bat for stock maps, it doesn't. Read more here.

I have the solution :

Open editlocalization.bat
Go to weapons
Go to rep if you want to add the weapon for the republic (also all for the rebels, cis for the cis...)
Go to weap
Click on weap
Add a key - The name of the key is the name of your weapon. So for your gun the name of the key is "inf_new_rifle"
Click on "inf_new_rifle" and write the name of your weapon
Save and Close
Go munge (you should select common in mod tool visualmunge or that will not work)

That's all !

It worked! Thanks!
