Gettext override translations

Gettext override translations Plugin

GUI in backend to override texts and translations without any programming knowledge.

Lets you override default texts from your admin panel.
Originally built to override texts from Woocommerce, but also works for all neatly added texts by WordPress Core and plugins.

It will translate all _e(”) or __(”) string calls, so check the PHP sourcecode of the plugin or theme you need to translate.

It will NOT translate any dynamic strings like %s or %d, so “%s has been added to your cart.” is not translatable.

It will NOT translate any strings that contain HTML tags at all.

Some WooCommerce examples:
WooCommerce “Select option” (dropdown value) setting
Fullscreen Screenshot 3
WooCommerce “Select option” (dropdown value) translation result
Fullscreen Screenshot 4
WooCommerce “Order notes” setting
Fullscreen Screenshot 5
WooCommerce “Order notes” translation result
