## Wopisanje

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](https://s.w.org/extend/plugins/gettext-override-translations/screenshot-3.png)

 [Loosie94](https://profiles.wordpress.org/loosie94/) 12. měrca 2022

Hi, really like the plugin, but I think it's weird to have it located in the plugins
submenu of the WordPress menu. Maybe it's better to move it to tools/settings submenu?
Keep up the good work!

### 󠀁[Great plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-31151/)󠁿

I'm so happy to found this plugin! It just works perfectly! Thank you! It looks 
a bit buggy, but only visually, and it's not the problem at all to me. This image…/
wp-content/plugins/gettext-override-translations/img/delete.png is in the wrong 
place. Delete image "X" is below the "Original (translated) text", so all text fields
are moved to one place on the right side. Noobs will be confused, so will be best
to fix that. Maybe to relocate the delete button next to the checkbox "protect settings".
I hope I explained the problem understandable. Thanks again!

After trying several other alternatives which took me hours of testing and getting
frustrated, this little plugin simply works! At least in woocommerce, others I have
not tried. Thanks for this and keep up the good work.

Easy to install and easy to work with. No longer search for hours where the translation
has to be made.

In a WooCommerce shop for one of my customers I edited the .po file to change the
default text into a more informal text. With every WooCommerce update the changes
were gone and I needed to upload the files again. With this plugin I don't have 
to do that anymore. It's perfect if you want to translate / change (a few) strings
in a plugin. Thank you!
