## Descrição

An easy-to-use plugin that allows you to change translatable strings from plugins/
themes and WordPress core without editing code. Simply enter the current string,
and what you want to replace it with and the plugin will automatically do the rest!

The plugin’s available for forking and contribution over on [GitHub](https://github.com/leewillis77/say-what)

Check out [Say What Pro](https://plugins.leewillis.co.uk/downloads/say-what-pro/)
for:

 * **String Discovery and autocomplete** – find the strings you need without diving
   through code. Works with server-side and Javascript-rendered strings
 * **Improved performance** using text-domain-specific filters
 * **Wildcard string replacements** – replace individual words, or fragments across
   your whole site
 * **Multi-lingual support** – set different replacements for different languages
   on multi-lingual sites
 * **Import/export features** – Easy import/export of replacements through the user
   interface

## Perguntas frequentes

### 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](https://plugins.leewillis.co.uk/doc_post/replacing-wordpress-strings-context/)
shows some examples of what you’re looking for. Alternatively, the [Pro version of the plugin](https://plugins.leewillis.co.uk/downloads/say-what-pro/)
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/](https://pt.wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/WP-CLI?output_format=md).
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](https://github.com/leewillis77/say-what) 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](https://plugins.leewillis.co.uk/downloads/say-what-pro/)

This is the plugin’s description:An easy-to-use plugin that allows you to alter 
strings on your site without editing WordPress core, or plugin code. Simply enter
the current string, and what you want to replace it with and the plugin will automatically
do the rest! I tried it with this string: <div id=”wrapper”> that I want to replace
with: <div class=”wrapper”>, but nothing happened.It says in the description that
I only need to enter the current string, and what you want to replace it with and
the plugin will automatically do the rest. But it doesn’t work that way.

Does exactly what it supposed to do. Don’t need to change the core file for changing
strings we want to translate. You will need to find the exact string name and it’s
location (site domain).

Free version useless without extensive php knowledge of the target modules. Accepts
any setting but does and says nothing.

I was recommended on this plugin by WooCommerce Payment, because I wanted to change
the title of the payment method. And it works, very easy to use.
