Theme translations and custom words

Occasionally you may wish to change some of the words we have used when building the user interface of your theme. Here's some examples of why you might want to edit your theme's language.

• We have used the term 'Sign Up' on the submit button for your newsletter section. You may prefer to use the most emotive 'Join Us'. 
• Product labels display 'On Sale' on top of your product images when you have reduced the price of your products. You may prefer to use 'On Offer'
• Our themes are multi language and although these have been carefully created we may have used incorrect grammar or an inappropriate spelling for your local language. For example all nouns are capitalized in German but not in English.
