 * Hi. Let’s say you have one word that appears 100 times throughout a theme and
   the developer prefers for that word to not be capitalized. However, the community
   that uses it, wants that word to be capitalized.
 * Is there a way, rather than going line by line, to change this in one go, using
   Loco?
 * Thank you!
    Ryan

 * If **every instance of the individual word** has been made a translatable string
   by the developer then yes. Just create an English* language file and enter a 
   capitalized translation to your liking.
 * If instances of this word are actually part of **a number of longer phrases**
   and they have ALL been made translatable strings then the same applies, but you’ll
   have to enter a translation for every unique phrase.
 * * I assume you’re talking about English as you haven’t said otherwise. Adding
   translations in English is the same process as in any other language.

 * Thank you. Yeah, they are all part of longer phrases.
 * Something like a find and replace came to mind, but I understand.
 * Thanks again.

 * The editor has no find and replace feature currently. This has been requested
   before, but it won’t be added particularly soon.
 * You asked how to achieve your goal using Loco Translate. That doesn’t mean it’s
   your best option. I can’t advise on other plugins, but I’m sure there’s a simpler
   route that makes use of the [gettext filter](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/gettext/).
   This also assumes the strings are translatable.
