Editing the default language translation given in Chargebee without relying on Chargebee support
I want to rename the labels/default messages in my invoice or emails sent to my customer in French/German
The default language translation for a specific word in German/French is incorrect (grammatical error/ legally incorrect/ not formal) and I need to replace it with the correct translation.
