I completely understand your preference to keep the site lightweight and avoid additional plugins.
However, since there is no native option within the theme settings to change these specific slugs, achieving this via the Child Theme requires writing and testing custom PHP code (typically using the gettext filter). Providing custom code solutions for specific string modifications falls outside the scope of our complimentary theme support.
If you are unable to use the translation plugin suggested, we recommend initiating a small customization project with our partners who can write this code for you safely: https://themenectar.com/salient/customization/

Hi gbysea,
Thanks for reaching out and I trust you're keeping safe!
You can make use of a translation plugin like "Say What?" to change the theme string: https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/translations/#:~:text=Translating%20a%20few%20items
Please give it a try and let us know how it goes!
Best wishes,

I want to avoid using extra plugins for such "easy" tasks.
I am using the Child Theme, so give me instructions and a file (code) to do this.
Thanks in advance.
