A recent client had, what I thought, was a simple request in WooCommerce. Instead of the Header text for a product saying ‘Description’, he wanted it to say ‘Information’ instead. This should be simple but it does require a little jiggery-pokery to get it to work…The easiest way I found of achieving this is to add a translate filter to the function.php file. What this will do is replace the word you want to change with the one you want.
Please, BACK UP your site before doing this. UpdraftPlus is one of the better plugins!
Log into the dashboard of your WooCommerce website and from the left menu choose: Appearance –> Editor
What you’re looking for is the Theme Functions file called functions.php
Go to the very bottom of the page and add this code:
add_filter(‘gettext’, ‘translate_text’);
add_filter(‘ngettext’, ‘translate_text’);
function translate_text($translated) {
$translated = str_ireplace(‘Description’, ‘Information’, $translated);
return $translated;
}
In the above example, I am changing the word ‘Description‘ to ‘Information‘
Save the file and you should be good to go!
