[Resolved] How do I change text in Groups?

Hi
I am using a child theme of Twenty Fifteen, and I would like to change the text of a couple of things:
1. the generic text ‘Groups’.
2. the viewing number of groups text (ie ‘Viewing x-y of z groups’)
I can see this is written in the bp-groups-template.php in the function bp_groups_pagination_count().
I would like to change the text
‘Viewing %1$s – %2$s of %3$s groups’

Can anyone please point me in the right direction with this?
Thanks for any help

The generic text is the page title.
Go to dashboard > Pages and change the title. Ensure this pages shows up in BP settings and assign it (the new title) to groups. Save.

Other wordings in BP can be changed by using the language file, even if you use english.
See here:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

or search the forum, as they are many topics asking similar question.

The best way to change multiple strings is to edit the BP language file:

Hi thanks for the replies!
The language file did it.
I downloaded Poedit and managed to change a lot of what I was wanting to do.
