I would like to edit the wording of some of the bbPress prompts and messages. As I understand this can be done using a language file as described here.
https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/bbpress-in-your-language/

I’m a little confused though since I am not actually changing from English to another language. Since I’m not changing languages what does the process look like? I went here to download the English version but there’s English (Canadian, UK, Australian, or South African versions) Which further ads to the confusion as to which language file I should download and edit 🙁

Any idea on how to go about editing the bbPress prompts and messages in the same language I am using?

Feel like I’m making progress.

I created and uploaded both these files to the wp-content/languages/plugins folder.
– bbpress-en_US.mo
– bbpress-en_US.po

But the changes do not appear on the front end. There must be something else I’m missing 🙁

I edited the POT file found in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.pot using Poedit app. Saved the two needed files:
– bbpress-en_US.mo
– bbpress-en_US.po

After reading the instruction I was putting them in the wrong directory. Created and moved those two files to this directory:
/wp-content/languages/bbpress/

But same results, changes are not loading. Grrrr not sure what I’m doing wrong here.
