Change the way BuddyPress refers to ‘members’

Hi there

I’m looking to adjust the way BuddyPress refers to members across the board. I can’t spot anything in the PO language file…

For example, in the members list it refers to “viewing 1-20 of 2000 members”.

We have a paid members subscription within the business, and this is causing confusion – not all 2000 users in the directory are paid members. We want to change the name ‘members’ to ‘instructors’ to avoid confusion.

I see this is hardcoded in ./bp-members/bp-members-template.php – can this be overridden without editing the plugin directly?

The gettext calls in that file all use the Text Domain: buddypress.
iow. they refer to the buddypress.pot file.
For example: _n( 'Viewing %1$s - %2$s of %3$s member', 'Viewing %1$s - %2$s of %3$s members', $members_template->total_member_count, 'buddypress' )
Note the ‘buddypress’ in that example.

Search the .pot file for Viewing %1$s - %2$s of %3$s member and you will find results.

There is lots of info on how to use a language file.
