Sometimes you want to change just one word in translation and you dont want to create .po and .mo files, install translation plugins etc.

So use the function str_replace and replace the string you want. For example I am changin “Add to cart” to “Přidat do košíku”.

You can place this code to your code snippets, custom funcionality plugin, functions.php… It is up to you :-).

<?php
function twiki_translate_string( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
    $translated_text = str_replace('Add to cart', 'Přidat do košíku', $translated_text);
    return $translated_text; 
} 
add_filter( 'gettext', 'twiki_translate_string', 100, 3 );
