    Hi,
    on the cart page in the cart contents table there is the th “product-total” with the word “Total”. This is confusing and not correct since it is not the total amount the customer will pay since there might be additional fees, shipping etc. It is espacially confusing since there is the other table row in the cart total table with the word total, which in contrast does display the total including everything. Unfortunately there is no way of changing the wording currently in Woocommerce without editing the templates. I would love to have both different names since they display different things.

    Thank you!

  • Hi @fellter2,

    One way you can change these is by using a translation plugin like Loco Translate or Say What. Those can be used to change strings like this without editing the template. It’s a bit odd to translate something into the same language, but it works.

    Here’s a screenshot of me changing total in the cart table to “Bob.”

    cart total

    I hope that helps out,

    Hi,
    thank you for your reply. I am always using Poedit to translate Woo (I don’t want to use another plugin) but if the word “Total” is translated in Poedit, it will alsochange “Total” in the cart totals and the checkout table – and there the word total is correct and should stay…

    Hi @fellter2,

    Another option that doesn’t require adding a plugin is to use a template override. You can then edit the cart/cart.php file and hard code the wording you’d like to use.

    edit label

    You can learn more about template overrides in this document:

    Hi,

    thank you @3sonsdevelopment, but like I mentioned in my post:

    Unfortunately there is no way of changing the wording currently in Woocommerce without editing the templates

    I don’t want to either override in the original file (update reasons) or in my child theme (performance reasons) and since it is not the correct wording in first case, I think Woocommerce should change it…

    Hi @fellter2,

    You’re welcome to open up an enhancement request on GitHub and make your case for why you think that should be changed.

    https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/new/choose

    That would be the best place to propose a coding change.

    Best,

    Hello @fellter2,

    It’s been a while since we last hear from you so I’m going to mark this topic as resolved. Feel free to open up a new issue at GitHub to suggest that change if you haven’t already.

    Take care
