    Hi there,

    I’m wanting to change some strings throughout the plugin and am unable to do so. For example, I’m trying to change strings this way:

    
    
    
    /*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    	Modify Strings
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
    function filter_translations($translation, $text, $domain) {
        if ($domain ==  GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN ) {
            switch ($text) {
                case 'Send Enquiry':
                    $translation = 'Send Inquiry';
                    break;
            }
        }
    
        return $translation;
    }
    add_filter('gettext', 'filter_translations', 20, 3);
    

    Do you guys know what the problem might be or a better way for me to change strings?

    Thanks,
    Jonah

    Hi Jonah,

    not entirely sure of what you are trying to do, but why not simply “translate” it via po file?

    I mean translation allows to change any string in the templates from English to let say Spanish.

    Howeever it can be used in English to simply change wording for any given string, without actually translating.

    Let us know,

    Thx

    Hey paolo, that works. I guess my solution was to do it without doing the whole po file thing. But that’s not too difficult…

    Thanks,
    Jonah
