Questions
- Can I use it to change any string?
You can only use the plugin to translate strings which are marked for translation.
- How do I find the string to translate?
You can either have a guess, or checkout the plugin in question’s source code, translatable strings are generally wrapped in __(), _e(), _n(), or _x(), for example:
$foo = __('This is a translatable string', 'plugin-domain');The article here shows some examples of what you’re looking for. Alternatively, the Pro version of the plugin provides a String Discovery mode which means you can search for strings on your site via autocomplete suggestions.
- Is there any support for importing replacements?
“Say What?” has preliminary support for exporting, and importing replacements via http://wp-cli.org/. The following commands are currently
supported:- export – Export all current string replacements.
- import – Import string replacements from a CSV file.
- list – Export all current string replacements. Synonym for ‘export’.
- update – update string replacements from a CSV file.
See the GitHub homepage for examples.
- Can I set different replacements for different languages?
Not in the free plugin, however this is available in the Pro version of the plugin
