 * Hello! Maybe you can help me with this: I have a German language blog. The translation
   works fine, but I would like to address my readers with “Du” instead of “Sie”.
   So, in the comment box, I would like to replace “Schreiben Sie einen Kommentar”
   with “Schreibe einen Kommentar”. Is this possible?

 * Hi [@drakespeak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drakespeak/),
 * The comment box text is not part of the theme but of WordPress itself. I think
   you can modify the Core translations with a plugin like [Loco Translate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/),
   though.
