How do we replace the title ‘Testimonial’ which displays on the testimonial slideshow with a different title?

Thanks!

Hello Teampicchi,
you can translate it by using Poedit. Check this out: http://www.themes2go.xyz/manuals/lifecoach/knowledge-base/translating-the-theme/

Have a good day,

We don’t want to translate to a different language. We would like to change the title “Testimonial” which displays on the testimonial slideshow to a different title.

Hello,
what I suggested is the easiest way to edit the title “Testimonial”.
You can also change by editing the theme’s code but I sincerely don’t recommend it.

Keep me posted on this,
Andrea

I’ve download ttg-core-en_EN.po to my computer. It opens when I click on it, but I’m not sure how to change the Testimonial title. I did a Find on it, looking for Testimonial, but nothing came up. I’m not sure how to proceed. Thanks.

Hi teampicchi, i’m sorry but it looks like you didn’t read at all the manual page that was linked by my collegue in the first answer

http://www.themes2go.xyz/manuals/lifecoach/knowledge-base/translating-the-theme/

You have to create a translation file using the language code of the language you are using in the wordpress theme, and following the manual create the .po and .mo for your own language, then translate only the strings you want to change.
If your site is in english you can use en_EN, if is american english you should use en_US.

In either ways, please start by reading the manual, otherwise we would be simply copying and pasting here the same identical content.
The .po file is not a txt and needs to be compiled, as described in the manual.

If still something is unclear please let us know.

Thanks
Igor

I read ‘4.0 Translating the theme’ multiple times and reviewed the poedit website. I am a beginner who has never worked with poedit or translating strings. I went through the 8 steps on 4.0 and downloaded poedit and created the translation file of the Theme Core plugin. I do not see any information on the 4.0 manual page on how to change a title or a string and do not know how to proceed.

I’m disappointed that 4.0 Translating the theme page isn’t written at a beginner’s level. I’m also disappointed the help desk keeps referring me to a manual page that isn’t helpful for a beginner.

Thanks Lynne, so your language code is en_US, so once edited the translation file with Poedit starting from the original .pot file, save it as en_US.po (not pot). It will generate also another file (.mo).
Place both in the languages file of the theme, sdisable any caching or performance plugin you may be using in the site (to be sure they are not preventing you from seeing an updated page version) and check if it worked.

Looking forward for your kind feedback I wish you a good evening
best regards
Igor
