Language files are responsible for the text content on the site.
Location: includes/language/english
If you wish to offer more/other languages, create a new directory in the includes/language directory. Name it how you wish it to appear for users to select their language. Example: If you want to add spanish, you would create the spanish directory in the includes/language directory.
Copy all contents of the english directory to the new directory and translate all files within that directory to the chosen language.
In each language directory, there is a list of language files. The language files are named the same as the corresponding website page files.
The global.php language file contains text content from multiple pages or that needed to be globally included.
Look for the filename of the page you want to change the text content and edit the text you want to change.
Use a text editor for editing the language files.
If you offer multiple languages, be sure to edit all languages when you edit.
