Hi,

I tested with the following function and the translation seems fine:

function mycustom_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    // This is an array of original strings
    // and what they should be replaced with
    $strings = array(
        'Please note that a maximum number of %d tickets can be purchased for this event per order.' => 'Please note %d',
        // Add some more strings here
    );

    // See if the current string is in the $strings array
    // If so, replace its translation
    if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
        // This accomplishes the same thing as __()
        // but without running it through the filter again
        $translations = get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
    }
 
    return $translated;
}
 
add_filter( 'gettext', 'mycustom_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

I also tested with a random language file (Dutch) from our Glotpress account and that translated the text too.

In your translation, did you include the ending period (.)? It was missing from your question.

Hi Gonçalo, were you able to translate this phrase in your updated language file?

Hello, I’ve replaced the sample function for changing the messaging. Please use this one instead:
