 * I have edited the POT file with Loco translate for a plugin I’m using, so that
   any string that contains that word “tour” is changed to “event,” including in
   the admin. After making these changes, and disabling my caching plugin, nothing
   has changed. The following video shows how one of the changes I made was “Add
   New Tour” to be “Add New Event,” but it has not changed.

 * Don’t edit POT files. They are templates, not translation files.
 * Revert your broken POT file and create a PO file for your language.
