Translations allow you to change certain built-in terms across the Thought Industries system. A common example of this is changing "courses" to something like "classes" or "guides".
Translations can also be used if you want to use an entirely different language on your site. Once your default language is changed, all built-in translations will automatically update (see our Selecting a Default Language for Your Site article). If you want to customize further you will still have the ability to overwrite any term or phrase, in any language, by using Translations.
