 * Hello, i want to translate the string:
    “Sorry, but nothing matched your search
   terms. Please try again with different keywords.”
 * i have download the oceanwp.pot file from the theme languages folder, and used
   poedit to make the translation, i saved the files with the en_US.po and en_US.
   po and uploaded them to the languages folder inside the oceanwp theme folder,
   but nothing changes, i’m using the oceanwp child theme..
 * what i am doing wrong?

 * Copy your po/mo files in wp-content -> languages -> themes.

 * Hello, can you create a pre-purchase ticket on oceanwp.org? I will try to see
   what is wrong.
