 * hi,
 * Great theme. Looks very good.
    I am relatively new to coding. I notice that using
   a plugin with which I should be able to ‘translate’ the theme is not working.
   E.g. ‘search form’ / ‘previous & next post’ etc. are still English. (plugin I
   use is I was wondering if there i any other way to change these words, preferably
   using CSS and not with making a child theme…

 * hi
    i don’t recall another way actually,the words you see in the themes are either
   from default php pages in the theme or from functions.php so you have to change
   the words like that,its not really hard but it takes time to translate all the
   English words

 * Hi,
 * Another way is to open your theme’s .pot file in “Poedit” software and add the
   translation for the words like “previous & next post” in the listing of translatable
   words in .pot file opened in Poedit.
