How to translate any word in wordpress theme:
1. Download POEdit http://www.poedit.net/ and open yourtheme/lanuages/en_US.po in it. Yourtheme is the name of the theme that you use.
2. Translate or change any words using POEdit.
3. Click “Save”, you will see that en_US.mo file has appeared in the same folder.
4. Rename en_US.po and en_US.mo to the language code of your wordpress (for example if your wordpress is in russian language then rename files to ru_RU.po and ru_RU.mo, find your code here http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language).
5. Upload this files to the/ wp-content/yourtheme/languages folder on your site.

Hi, please make sure that you’ve looking for it in the same folder where you’re editing the en_US.po file, en_US.mo will be generated when you click save (if you’ve changed words in en_US.po file), then rename this file to es_ES.mo and upload to wp-content/themes/yourtheme/languages folder.

Thanks for the rapid replay but that file is not generate yet, I still only the es_ES.po file in /wp-content/themes/midway/languages.
But I do have the es_ES.mo file in /wp-content/languages. Do I have to copy this file into /wp-content/themes/midway/languages?

No, this is global wordpress file. Open file en_US.po (on your computer in POEdit, not on the server), then change the words and click Save, you will see en_US.mo near the en_US.po (not in /yoursite/wp-content/themes/midway/languages), then rename .mo file and upload it to your server.
