MEC | Change Text

[cyrock]

Hi,

in functions.php i use:

add_filter( ‘gettext’, ‘change_mec_text’, 20, 3 );
function change_mec_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
return is_singular(‘mec-events’) && ( $text ==‘Hourly Schedule’ || $translated_text == ‘Veranstaltung buchen’ ) ? ‘Teilnahme buchen’: $translated_text;}

for another swap, when i try to add something else, its not working. Maybe i am too tired now…?!

Please gibe me a little help

Hi Cy,

You can use the following format. That way, it will be easy for you to add another text to swap

add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_mec_text', 20, 3 );

function change_mec_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
  if(is_singular('mec-events')) {
        switch ( $translated_text ) {

            case 'Download Invoice' :

                $translated_text = 'Download Receipt';

                break;

            case 'Hourly Schedule' :

                $translated_text = 'Stundenplan';
                
                break;

             case 'Another text' :

                $translated_text = 'Your translated text';
                
                break;
        }
  }

    return $translated_text;
}

Please change the text accordingly.

Hope that helps

Hi @cyrock,

That string is used by many different section, some are served through ajax request so the condition if(is_singular('mec-events')) may return false. Please try changing that code to this

add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_mec_text', 20, 3 );

function change_mec_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
  if( $domain == 'mec' ) {
        switch ( $translated_text ) {

            case 'Download Invoice' :

                $translated_text = 'Download Receipt';

                break;

            case 'Hourly Schedule' :

                $translated_text = 'Stundenplan';
                
                break;

             case 'Another text' :

                $translated_text = 'Your translated text';
                
                break;
        }
  }

    return $translated_text;
}

Hope this helps.
