Worked fine for me – hardest thing here, was to find out wtf the authors called the script as slug

In reply to Hassan. Thanks for the thought - agreed, you'd need to track down instances of wp_localize_script() that apply to the old script and re-point them to the new script with new wp_localize_script() calls in the child theme.

I believe this fails (might also cause errors in page) if the script uses wp_localize_script(), since the localized strings would be missing.
