A great replacement for the outdated well-known plugin "Lucas String Replace".

Does not work with Woocommerce!

Does not work with Woocommerce! And when you translate, translated text disappears! So you don't know what you translated and what not!

Super simple and useful

Make changes to existed translation string with simplest way. 看到甚麼翻譯不順眼就直接替換掉, 粗暴又有效. 太棒了

Totally useless

Doesn't function.

Excellent Plugin

Anyone does not calculate the functionality of this plugin, after spending days looking for how to translate certain words of a website in which I did not want to use the rest of the robust plugins for translations by simply changing 4 texts, I found this plugin and it is well worth it in leave a recommendation, because they deserve it. Keep moving forward.

Excellent

Ce plugin est juste magique, enfin mes traductions récalcitrantes sont faites sur des plugins impossible à traduire, même avec poedit... Mille Merci au Développeur ! Ce plugin soigne aussi les nerfs 😉

Works like a charm

Thank you. This is the only plugin we've found that works to replace text on the login screen as well 🙂
