You could either not use the "other" option from the system ( manual.limesurvey.org/Question_type_-_Li...Other.27_.28other.29 ) and just create your own "other" option by adding an answer option and name it for example "not other". ;-)

Or you could just change the label for other to something else in the "Display options" of your question.

This would impact all questions with "other" in all surveys. If this is what you want, then "translating" is the way to go.

But I guess this is just for this specific question type and for this specific question. Then the best is to change it in "Display options" in the question settings ("edit").
