  • Menu possition

    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!

    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!

  • It Works!!

    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 and works like a charm

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

  • Perfect for plugin string translations!

    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!
