There are few ( or many topic ) about find and translate language string in Joomla!
It would be easily with few basic way

The only thing you need to know is : Which one you want to translate.
Module / Component / Template or … unknown ?

In this topic i’ll use Teline V as sample

I want to translate New Articles
In very basic way we can do is Search string. Yes, if we do it day by day we’ll feeling a better short cut way. But let do with basic first.
Use any File Management tool you want. I used Total Commander. Do search string for whole site.

We’ll have result like this

If you have no Joomla! skill you can check into each file until you find one correct language string
In this case is

TPL_WN_NEW_ARTICLES="New Articles"
languageen-GBen-GB.tpl_ja_teline_v.ini

We can do quick confirm is it correctly by search back with TPL_WN_NEW_ARTICLES

In this layout we have

<div class="whatsnew-alert" data-url="<?php echo JUri::base() ?>?t3action=module&mid=<?php echo $module->id ?>&style=raw">
<span class="number"><?php echo $count ?></span>
<span class="text"><?php echo JText::_('TPL_WN_NEW_ARTICLES'); ?></span>
<span class="text indicator"><i class="fa fa-chevron-down"></i></span>
</div>

Compare with html in that element ! Yup ! Matched !
So this’s language string we need to know !

Simple , rite ? Not over than 1 minute.
