You will need to refer to WordPress language translation tutorials on how this can be done, but this can get a little overwhelming. There are a few methods to change something like this, to change language strings in a theme or WordPress.
Using the WPML plugin.
Using a application like Poedit to create a new language file.
Or creating a child theme and manually changing the file that contains that…but this method can be challenging.
To give you an idea of how you could use Poedit, check out this video:

Thank you. I used Poedit to create a new language file, but now I’m not sure what I need to do to get it to use that file?
I think you have to change your wp-config.php file to use the one you created. I’ve personally never worked with languages and WordPress, but this might be what you’re looking for:

O.K. This may be a bit over my head, so for now I’m just going to leave it as it and come back to this later.
Thanks so much for your help!
No worries…and yes, it does become a bit involved. Sometimes what seems easy to do can often be complicated, or just a lot of work involvement. I even ran into that kind of scenario with my new theme I’m developing. Something I thought was going to be easy turned out nope!
