the best, fastest and easiest way to check for a word used in buddypress is to open the pot file, where you find it aside the file(s) and line number where it is used.
Thank you, @danbp!
I opened the .pot-file finally not with poedit (there I didn’t found any aside-information), rather with an editor. There I got the information, that I can find, e.g., ‘Site-Wide-Activity’ in the buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-loader.php.
I changed ‘Site-Wide-Activity’ into ‘Neuigkeiten aus dem 1a-Spielwiese-Netzwerk’ – and it works: đ
http://1a-spielwiese.de/activity/
I changed the original file at it’s original place. – Would it work with my child-theme-folder as well? If yes: Where I would have to place my bp-activity-loader.php-Copy?
On the highest level of my child-theme-folder? Inside my buddypress-folder there or inside my buddypress/bp-activity-folder there? Or anywhere else?
Changing words with the translation file is best practice, so you haven’t to modify anything in a core file.
If you want to modify template files, you do that with a child-theme and by respecting the same directory structure as in bp-legacy/buddypress/…/file_name.php:
wp-content/themes/your_child_theme/buddypress/…/file_name.php
1000 times explained and detailed on this forum and documented on Codex.
‘Members’ I found in the buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-loader.php
The relevant line there is:
'directory_title' => _x( 'members', 'component directory title', 'buddypress' ),
With ' ' (instead of ‘members’) I’m able to delete the text; but '' (instead of ‘members’) suprisingly produces ‘Mitglieder Verzeichnis’ (in German!) in des Frontend…

And the page title ‘groups’ is in the buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-loader.php

‘by respecting the same directory structure as in bp-legacy/buddypress/âŠ/file_name.php:’
But the EXAMPLE-loader.php-files are not inside the bp-legacy-folder!
The structure is:
- on the one hand, e.g.: buddypress/bp-actitvity/bp-activity-loader.php
- and on the other hand: buddypress/bp-legacy/buddypress/bp-activity – but there isn’t any bp-activity-loader.php
Within my child-theme-folder the equivalent for buddypress/bp-legacy/buddypress/bp-activity is simply buddypress/bp-activity (!) – or, as you explained there, regarding the members-loop.php:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/members-loop.php
To modify this file, you make a copy of it and put it into your child-theme
/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/members-loop.php
Therefore, placing the my bp-activity-loader.php inside my reddle-child/buddypress/bp-activity-folder would not ‘respecting the same directory structure’, rather changing it!
this is bp jargon… and i wrote
bp-loader.php is a core file
and a template file is a file in or from bp-legacy/buddypress/
Therefore, placing the my bp-activity-loader.php inside my reddle-child/buddypress/bp-activity-folder would not ârespecting the same directory structureâ, rather changing it!
Nobody told you to put bp-loader in the child theme !
If you need to modify a core code, you generally use a custom function to add/remove/modificate the originla function, with help of a action hook for example. Or other technique. This depends for what and where to apply a modification.

My question was:
Where I would have to place my bp-activity-loader.php-Copy?
And your answer was:
If you want to modify template files, you do that with a child-theme and by respecting the same directory structure
So, if your answer was not an answer on my question – what would be then the answer on my question?

However:
Changing words with the translation file is best practice, so you havenât to modify anything in a core file.
Of course, this would work; but I would not call this a ‘best practice’ – because ‘Neuigkeiten aus dem 1a-Spielwiese-Netzwerk’ is clearly not an a translation of ‘activity’.
And anyway: The page title ‘Members’ and ‘Groups’ are correctly translate within the Decker-translation, which I use:
http://1a-spielwiese.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Members-Page-Title_translated.jpg
and
http://1a-spielwiese.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Groups-Page-Title_translated.jpg
Nevertheless I got displayed in the Frontend ‘Members’ (not: ‘Mitglieder’) and ‘Groups’ (not: ‘Gruppen’), before I changed the core files today:
http://1a-spielwiese.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Page-Titles.jpg
And other users have the same problem:
Ich möchte die Seite gerne komplett in deutsch gestalten, aber egal welche “.mo” Dateien ich ins buddypress/plugin/language Verzeichnis lade, alles ist auf deutsch, nur nicht die Ăberschriften “Sitewide Activity” “Members” etc.

If you are referring to the directory pages – “Activity”, “Members”, “Groups”, then simply edit the page title under the “Pages” menu in the WP dashboard.
@r-a-y:
“then simply edit the page title under the âPagesâ menu in the WP dashboard.
No, this does not work:
My page titles there were – already before changing the bp-activity-loader.php and the bp-groups-loader.php – (and are there still) ‘Neuigkeiten’ and ‘Gruppen’:
http://1a-spielwiese.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/WP-Seiten-Titel.jpg
und
http://1a-spielwiese.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Neuigkeiten.jpg
Nevertheless, in the frontend was displayed ‘Side-Wide Activities’ and ‘Groups’:
http://1a-spielwiese.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Page-Titles.jpg
And there is displayed now ‘Gruppen’ – because I changed it inside the bp-groups-loader.php.
And it is displayed ‘Neuigkeiten aus dem 1a-Spielwiese-Netzwerke’ (and not only ‘Neuigkeiten’) – because the bp-activity-loader.php (and not the WP Admin-Panel) is decisive.
Therefore again:
How can I prevent, that my changed bp-activity-loader.php and bp-group-loader.php files will be re-changed through the next BuddyPress-Update? – Would it work to place them somewhere into my child-theme-folder? And if so: Where precisely inside that folder I would have to place them?
