If you want to consistently replace that string in all places of Jira user interface you will have to create a modified translation of a Jira. I just had a short look where the term prio occurs using this url: https://translations.atlassian.com/dashboard/translate?lang=de_DE#/11/0/0/ALL/ALL/Prio As you can see there's quite a lot to do but thanks to this page it can be done :)

Can you please share me the correct link ??

The translation page gives you a good clue what needs to be changed. Here is a detailled description how you can change the language jar: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/Customizing%20Text

I would recommend this add-on https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.translations.jira.inproduct

It is super simple and easy to use

I did exactly the same as Dieter and it worked like a charm. Just make sure not to use auto replace as the keys contain the word priority as well ;)

Could you please provide me the link for the steps.

Yes, that's why it's more than a bit of work :-)

You have to manually edit the translations files found in: /atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib/jira-lang*.jar

It's all described here:
