Hi Andrew,

Thanks for writing in! You can setup a child theme and activate it by following this guide (https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/setup-how-to-setup-child-themes/57) and then you can add the following code into your child theme’s functions.php file and change text accordingly.

// Change Strings
add_filter( 'gettext', 'translate_x_strings', 20, 3 );

function translate_x_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {

    switch ( $translated_text ) {

	    case 'Comments' :

	        $translated_text = __( 'Change as Discussion', '__x__' );
	        break;

	    case 'Leave a Reply' :

	        $translated_text = __( 'Change as Reply', '__x__' );
	        break;
    }

    return $translated_text;
}

Hope that helps.
