 * Hi,
    I was using language code “pb” and did some content all over the website.
 * Now I think pt would be best so I would like to change the Portuguese language
   from pb to pt.
 * In consequence, everywhere I put [:pb] should be replaced by [:pt].
 * Is there an automatized way to do that please?
 * Thank you!
 * Gabriel Leveau

 * I had a situation like this and I solved it by downloading the whole database
   as .sql file and then I did find all and replace(with any code editor), then 
   upload it again.
    I don’t know if there is an out of the box way to do this
