The fastest way I’ve found is to open the header.php file in your child theme and modify the text with the line for members.
That worked thank you so much, do you know how to change where it says “Member Directory” and “all Members” on the member search page?
Hi.
The right way to do this (as i have heard)

If you use this method you have full control over styling and it works perfect.
@mikepratt gave this tips in this presentation that i think is a awesome. Check it out here

I’ll confirm that using a custom language file is the correct to do it. It’ll save you a ton of headaches and pain. It’s actually fairly simple. Just read the documentation. 
I´m working on a translation to Swedish for BuddyPress right now, and use the language-file for this.
Thank you all for your advice, i’m goin to try it later i think i can figure it out now.
this was just what I was looking for!
I added my own .mo file to change the way the word ‘members’ was written and also added the BP_MEMBERS_SLUG define in wp-config.php and it was effective over the whole site, even in places where I’d not noticed the word ‘members’ .
big thanks!
I spoke too soon here, all the references to ‘members’ have changed to my new value ‘voggers’ but when I click on a user, it shows it should go to domain.com/voggers/username but when i click on it, it just goes to the home page. I can go to domain.com/voggers/ and it shows the list, it’s just the individual members page that wont work.
any help:?
Perhaps you have to make a manual edit in .htaccess?
I think this was to do with upgrading to 1.2.5
I downgraded back to 1.2.4.1 and was able to see domain.com/voggers/username again .
