In some cases you have to restart Mailman after making template changes
because templates are cached in a qrunner, but this normally affects
only templates related to archives and shouldn't be required here, so
I don't know what could be wrong.

However, assuming /cwis/htdocs/mailman/ is the Mailman installation
$prefix directory, you should not edit the files you edited, because
if you ever upgrade, your changes will be overwritten. To create
sitewide edited templates, you should create the directories
/cwis/htdocs/mailman/templates/site/tr/ and
/cwis/htdocs/mailman/templates/site/en/ and put your edited templates
there. That way, they will not be overwritten in an upgrade. See the
FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9>.
