 * Hello, I am looking to edit the wording that a woocommerce plugin uses when there
   are no items in a quote. In short, I am able to locate the HTML language I need
   to change…
 * <p class=”cart-empty”>Your quote is currently empty.</p>
 * I want to edit the “Your quote is currently empty” language. It’s so simple to
   edit but I have no clue how to access the file to be able to edit this language.
   Any direction would be much appreciated. I am clearly new to this. Is the process
   essentially….
 * Connect to website via FileZilla > Locate file to edit > Edit file > Upload back
   via FileZilla? If that’s the case, I cant seem to find the file needed to edit.
 * Thank you.

 * Hey there!
 * To translate text, you don’t actually want to edit the files at all – the changes
   will be overwritten the next time you update the plugin.
 * The best way to change that text is to use the Loco Translate [https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/)
 * You’ll be able to select the plugin you’d like to translate (WooCommerce), and
   then choose the language to edit, then find the specific string. From there, 
   you can change the “translation” of that string. Here’s some more info to help
   you get started:
