# Change default state names

 * I noticed **Cities Shipping Zones for WooCommerce** gets WooCommerce default 
   states names directly from **woocommerce/i18n/states.php**. This ignores the **
   woocommerce_states** filter to change states names. Is there a way to change 
   this to use WC()->countries->get_states() instead?

 * Hi,
    Please try to redownload the plugin and use the following code snippet (
   update the state code and the state name):
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'csz_states', 'csz_modify_states_names' );
       function csz_modify_states_names( $states ) {
       	$states_names = [ // State code => state name
       		'AMA'	=> 'New name1',
       		'ANC'	=> 'New name2',
       	];
       	foreach ( $states_names as $state_code => $state ) {
       		if ( isset( $states[ $state_code ] ) ) {
       			 $states[ $state_code ] = $state;
       		}
       	}
       	return $states;
       }
       ```
