I don't think there's a trivial way to do that. You will have to use a "content script" in your extension but then you will have to implement a bunch of things to walk the dom, inspect innerHTMLs and values of the elements and replace the specific words with a regexp. (unless I am forgetting some magic method)
You might want to check the extensions gallery to see if someone else has implemented something similar.
