Changing the WooCommerce Cart Item Count Text

Written by Dan Mossop

If you setup a WooCommerce store on the Divi Theme, the header will display a count of the items in the user's cart. The text for this will be of the form "2 Items". If you’d like to change this text, e.g. to translate it into another language, you can use the following PHP code:

add_filter('ngettext_with_context', 'dbc_change_woocommerce_item_text', 20, 6);

function dbc_change_woocommerce_item_text($translation, $single, $plural, $number, $context, $domain ) {
    if ($domain == 'Divi') {
		if ($translation == '%1$s Item') { return '%1$s Article'; }
		if ($translation == '%1$s Items') { return '%1$s Articles'; }
    }
    return $translation;
}
The code above example replaces the English text (both singular and plural forms) with the French equivalent (I hope – please correct me if I have mistranslated). The %1$s in the above is a placeholder which will be replaced with the actual number of items when Divi outputs the page.
