by KJA4U

light weight & functional

A great replacement for the outdated well-known plugin “Lucas String Replace”.

Does not work with Woocommerce!

Does not work with Woocommerce! And when you translate, translated text disappears! So you don’t know what you translated and what not!

by cojad

Super simple and useful

Make changes to existed translation string with simplest way. 看到甚麼翻譯不順眼就直接替換掉, 粗暴又有效. 太棒了
