This plugin has no setting or UI. It just does one thing : use the php-gettext library to handle translations. This results in much faster translation than using the default PHP gettext implementation of WordPress.
If the extension is not available, the plugin will simply do nothing.
You can verify that the plugin is working by looking for an HTTP header: X-Native-Gettext: 1, that will be sent as soon as a string will be translated by the native library.
If your WordPress install is in English, this plugin has no purpose. Otherwise, it can help speed up your install quite a lot.
Requirements: 
– php-gettext 
– OS-level support for the locale(s) you want to translate to.

Native Gettext for WordPress

Great Plugin.

It does one job and it does very good!

With the help of the Query Monitor Plugin, I was able to measure a drop of almost 45% of PHP memory usage using "Native Gettext for WordPress" for a simple Dashboard-request.
Really cool.

The plugin author is answering friendly and helpful to support requests.

Fast & Friendly

No problems found, after testing on several sites. My sites are all heavily dependent on fast loading of text domains, and all have the PHP gettext extension. PHP 8.0 and 8.1.

However, may not work in combination with other WordPress plugins overriding load_textdomain.


Works as it says, fast

A very light wrapper plugin that uses the native gettext library for faster localization.

Translate words used in plugins and themes with the text of your choice.
This plugin allows you to translate the original plugin/ theme text AND the translations that have been created. For example if you’re using the German translation of a theme, you can then change the translated text to something that fits your website better.
You can also change the core WordPress text to something else. For example you might wants to change ‘More Posts’ to ‘More Articles’ or ‘More Stories’.
Your translated text can replace strings with text containing HTML. This works well when you want to add links, or make part of the text bold/ italic.
It will NOT translate dynamic strings that use %s or %d, so “%s has been added to your cart.” is not translatable.
Inspired by these plugins
I made Translated Words because I wanted a very simple plugin that worked the way I wanted, to do this I forked <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-override-translations/" rel="ugc">WP Override Translations</a>. I later found out that WP Override Translations is a fork of <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/gettext-override-translations/" rel="ugc">Gettext override translations</a>.
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to Settings > Translate Words</li>
<li>Enter text found in your theme/ plugins in the ‘Current’ box.</li>
<li>Enter the text you want to use in the ‘New’ box.</li>
<li>Hit save.</li>
</ol>
Note: This does not work with post content, it is only for text passsed through the gettext functions.

Translate Words

We send our customers to this plugin when they want to make simple changes to text in our plugin. This plugin is delightfully lightweight and works great!

Wondefully simple

Translate Words works fine and is easy to use. It works re - translates the translation for each language that you see in the website. 
I am using another plugin 'Preferred Languages', which allows to have different locale languages assigned to users. Is simple but, if you have to translate to several languages Then you have to translate each 'translation word' for each language separately because there is no way to link them. Nevertheless, I recommend it if you need to improve only a few words for themes and plugins.

Just 'remove' option does not work, because file js/main.js is not enqueue correctly . I have found out that you need just to correct file administration.php inside function 'tww_translate_gutenberg_string' I have added 

 wp_enqueue_script(  'TWW_TRANSLATIONS_JS',  TWW_PLUGINS_DIR . 'js/main.js', 	array( 'jquery' ));

Plugin works fine and is easy to use except ...

This plugin is brilliant! It's extremely light, simple but very powerful!
I just needed to replace a word from a plugin that didn't match my business model, but didn't want to install a whole translation plugin. This one did the trick! Just enter the word you want to translate and what you want to read and boom! And even works in the backend!!!
Highly recommended, and the developer is extremely fast at answering requests and implementing new changes ;)

Incredible light and useful!


This is what I needed! I was lucky that such a plugin existed - several labels on the front end needed to be translated, cool! Thanks to the creators of the plugin!


Suitable if you need to translate a few words in a foreign plugin

Translate all the strings of your website through the WordPress admin.
