Change wording on Woocommerce Checkout page

Question

Thanks to help here: Change Billing details text to Shipping details I could change Billing details text on Woocommerce Checkout page by adding this to functions.php in Child theme:

function wc_billing_field_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
    switch ( $translated_text ) {
        case 'Billing details' :
            $translated_text = __( 'Billing Info', 'woocommerce' );
            break;
    }
    return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'wc_billing_field_strings', 20, 3 );

What are the codes to change these 3 additional texts with different wording: Additional information, PRODUCT & QUANTITY (see screenshot): Woocommerce Checkout Page

It would be better to override the checkout/form-checkout.php and checkout/review-order.php

Or You can use gettext filter .

This filter hook is applied to the translated text by the internationalization functions (__(), _e(), etc.)

function th_wc_order_review_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {

  if(is_checkout()){
    switch ($translated_text) {
      case 'Billing details' :
        $translated_text = __( 'Billing Info', 'woocommerce' );
        break;
      case 'Additional information':
        $translated_text = __('New Field Name', 'woocommerce');
        break;
     case 'Your order':
        $translated_text = __('My Order', 'woocommerce');
        break;
     case 'Product':
        $translated_text = __('Your Product', 'woocommerce');
        break;
    }
  }
  return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'th_wc_order_review_strings', 20, 3 );

Try changing the above code to your requirements.

Thanks melvin, That worked but only for "Billing details". How to change Additional information, PRODUCT & QUANTITY. I'm adding the code to functions.php in Child theme. The page is here: (https://tokyopicnics.com/checkout/) Thanks! – Clawdius Oct 08 '18 at 07:00
@Clawdius Check my answer. I have updated. Also you can override template file to change the label if there are no other issues – melvin Oct 08 '18 at 07:07
@Clawdius There was case sensitive issues in my answer that i have updated. Check now. Hope everything works fine – melvin Oct 08 '18 at 07:16
That's great! 3 done! but "Additional information" still won't change. Don't think there is a template file. Can't find it so using functions.php on Child. Thanks! – Clawdius Oct 08 '18 at 07:22
Can you find the template file in which the `Additional information` is written using a text editor ? Also have you checked there is no case sensitive issues ? @Clawdius – melvin Oct 08 '18 at 07:24
You could see something like this `__( 'Additional information', 'woocommerce' ) ` in your template. You have to type the same to change the text – melvin Oct 08 '18 at 07:30
It was a case sensitive issue: case 'Additional information': had a capital i. All fine now. Thanks a lot!! – Clawdius Oct 08 '18 at 07:30

Sorry again, one more issue after this fix: The site is bilingual English/Japanese. On Japanese site on the homepage there are 4 Picnic products. When I click "Reserve" then "Add to Cart" next to it, it goes to English Checkout page not Japanese. It was ok before. Can you help? Thanks! – Clawdius Oct 09 '18 at 10:54
@Clawdius i don't know much about that. It can be any wpml issues – melvin Oct 09 '18 at 11:12
@Clawdius is that issue still there when you remove the above answer ? – melvin Oct 09 '18 at 11:19
yes, I activated the main theme and the issue was still there – Clawdius Oct 09 '18 at 11:33
@Clawdius try removing the code i give you and if still issue persists, then that's something else – melvin Oct 09 '18 at 11:39
I also tried removing code from child and issue still there – Clawdius Oct 09 '18 at 11:40
@Clawdius So this issue is something else. Find your recent changes you made to any of the pages and change it back – melvin Oct 09 '18 at 12:13
Ok Thanks for your help – Clawdius Oct 09 '18 at 12:19
@Clawdius sorry for i couldn't help – melvin Oct 09 '18 at 12:35
Hi again. That issue is fixed now but now the homepage is loading very slowly (10 seconds). I found it's because of the code you gave for functions.php. When I use Child-theme with code - very slow. When I change to main theme with no code - normal. When I add the code to main theme in editor - back to very slow. Do you know how I can keep the code and normal homepage loading speed? Thanks! – Clawdius Oct 12 '18 at 15:00
@Clawdius the filter i gave you check each translation on every page for matching text. I have given an `is_checkout` function to ensure that the switch is executed only in checkout page. When the match is found the replace is applied. . This is the maximum i can optimize. So if the delay is due to code, then it is better to override the template file. – melvin Oct 16 '18 at 04:31
Thanks again! Will try – Clawdius Oct 18 '18 at 10:34
I'm getting a 502 error when adding a new code snippet with this code – JulienVan Oct 15 '20 at 10:16
@JulienVan Where did you add this code? Just checked now and it works – melvin Oct 15 '20 at 10:40
@melvin in the Code Snippet plugin – JulienVan Nov 26 '20 at 04:54
