# Translating a hardcoded plug in string

 * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translating-a-hardcoded-plug-in-string/)
 * if(empty($icon_only)) {
    $button .= ‘<span>’.esc_html__(‘Quick View’, ‘woo-quick-
   view’).'</span>’; }
 * in my plug in woo-commerce-quickview ( XT Woo Commerce Quickview )
 * This is hard coded, and the button says “Quick View” . i would like to edit this
   to make it that when my website is in fr_CA , it says “Apercu” instead.
    (actually
   right now it says Apercu, probably because of the cache… anyway i would like 
   to know how to re-write this so that i input one string of text for fr_CA and
   another for en_CA .)
 * Thanks!
 * PS. I found this <?php _e(“[:fr_CA]Les réseaux sociaux[:en_CA]Social Media[:]”);?
   >
 * But it gives me an error and I try to insert it, I don’t know how to properly
   insert that…

 * There are two woocommerce quick view related plugins:
 * [WooCommerce Quick View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-quickview/)
 * [XT WooCommerce Quick View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xt-woo-quick-view-lite/)
 * Please identify exactly which plugin you are using and then post in that plugin’s
   dedicated forum via its page in the [Plugin Repository](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * I am asking here for a general solution for a hard-coded string translation. 
   I already asked the developer of the plugin to no avail. In the original post
   I also already specified which plug in exactly it is. (XT Woocommerce Quick View)
 * Thanks to anyone who can help me with this!

 * I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/xt-woo-quick-view-lite/?view=all](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/xt-woo-quick-view-lite/?view=all)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
 * >  I already asked the developer of the plugin to no avail.
 * I don’t see any thread created by you on that plugin’s dedicated [forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/xt-woo-quick-view-lite/?view=all)!!!
   
   Where did you ask?

 * Directly, through their support on the plug in page.
 * But i am asking here because I believe I might come across this issue again with
   something else. Therefore I would enjoy a general way to write a string of text
   that will adapt itself to my site languages, right in the php file.
