Change the Default “Add To Cart” Button Text in WooCommerce for Different Languages

If you're running a multilingual e-commerce store on WooCommerce, you might encounter the need to customize not just the product listings but also the functionality of your buttons. One common request is how to change the default “Add To Cart” button text, which states “Add To Cart,” to a more engaging phrase like “Buy Now.” Now, add another layer of complexity with multiple languages! Don't worry—we've got you covered.

The Challenge

You want to replace the default “Add To Cart” button text with “Buy Now” in English, but when using different languages on your WooCommerce site, how do you ensure each version reflects the correct terminology? Let's say you’re using a language translation plugin like Polylang; how can you modify the functionality of the button to display an appropriate text in every language you’re supporting?

The Solution

Step 1: Basic Text Replacement

Initially, you might start by adding the following code snippet to the functions.php file of your child theme. This snippet targets the button text specifically:

While this works great for changing the button text to “Buy Now,” it doesn’t account for multiple languages, leading us to the next step.

Step 2: Setting Up Language Conditions

To customize the button’s text for different languages, you need to implement a conditional statement based on the current language locale. Here’s how to modify your function:

Explanation of the Code

add_filter(...): This function hooks your custom function into WooCommerce's button text filters.

get_locale(): This function retrieves the current language being used on your site.

Conditionals: The conditional statements check the locale against the specific language codes you provide (such as de_DE for German and en_US for English), ensuring the right text displays depending on the user’s chosen language.

Step 3: Adding More Languages

If you are supporting more languages, simply extend your function with additional if statements for each language you wish to customize:

This way, you can ensure that users see the relevant language button, enhancing their experience on your site.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily customize the “Add To Cart” button text in WooCommerce, catering to your multilingual audience with tailored phrases that resonate with them. This little touch can significantly influence their decision to purchase, making your e-commerce site more user-friendly. If you're using Polylang or any similar translation plugin, this approach should integrate seamlessly into your existing setup.

Now, with just a few lines of code, you can make the shopping experience on your site not only functional but also engaging across languages! Happy coding!
