Ok, but I don't want to edit the activate account email. I want to edit the email that is sent to new members once I approve their registration. How do I find that one?

Also, how do I edit the subject lines for these emails as well?Comment
-
Did you copy the mail text into the translation box or edit over the top of it?
The Subject lines can be found in the 'Email Subject Text' phrase group (from the dropdown) or by doing the same search as before.Comment

Try this:
Revert your edit by emptying the translation box and saving it. Then test and verify the email sends correctly.
if it does, try reapplying your edits carefully and test again.MARK.B

When I reverted the email back to its default text, the username appeared again. Then I re-did my edits, making sure not to touch the lines with the {2} variables at all, and again the email did not replace the {2}s with the username. This may help too. Here's how the email shows up in my email its original form:
