Hi! Where is this string?

Some context here would help 🙂

Hi!

You can customize all translations with the Custom Translation settings.

Go to Admin \> General \> Translations, and add them as a Json object per languague:

`{ "en": { "Start_of_conversation": "Custom New Conversation Message" }, "pt": { "Start_of_conversation": "Nova mensagem personalizada" }}`

In order to discover which key to translate (for example, _Start\_of\_conversation_), you can search for the sentence in our codebase at Github, like so:

> **[Search · "Start of conversation" · RocketChat/Rocket.Chat](https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/search?q=%22Start%2Bof%2Bconversation%22)**
>
> The communications platform that puts data protection first. - Search · "Start of conversation" · RocketChat/Rocket.Chat
