Title: Editing Strings Last modified: May 8, 2023 --- # Editing Strings * Resolved [stanleyuroy11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stanleyuroy11/) * (@stanleyuroy11) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-strings/) * Hi, * I am wondering if I can be able to edit the strings without any coding knowledge required. I would love to change every string with the words “Submit Job”, “Company Details”, CV, “View Jobs” “Jobs Dashboard”, “Submit Resume” etc to match the industry I am in. So I could have something; “Submit A Gig”, Change all the words relating to Job to become Gigs. Change company details to “Enterprise Details”, Change Job Type to “Gig Type”, change submit Resume to “Submit Application”, – these are simply examples. * Thank you in advance * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fediting-strings%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [hastibe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hastibe/) * (@hastibe) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-strings/#post-16730797) * Yes, there is a really helpful [code snippet](https://wpjobmanager.com/document/wpjm-core-snippets/) for this in their documentation (included snippet below). You can add additional` $translated` lines to the snippet, as below, to translate multiple strings, and you would add this code snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file or ( if you prefer or don’t have a child theme) use the [Code Snippets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/) plugin: * `add_filter('gettext', 'translate_text'); functiontranslate_text($translated){ $translated = str_ireplace('Submit Jobs', 'Submit a Gig', $translated);$translated = str_ireplace('Company Details', 'Enterprise Details', $translated);return $ translated;} * Plugin Contributor [Stef (a11n)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erania-pinnera/) * (@erania-pinnera) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-strings/#post-16737564) * Hey, [@stanleyuroy11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stanleyuroy11/) !
