bergmans23	Hi there, I've run all products in test.russian-socks.com through the auto translate and all is well, but I see that some translations are not quite correct. If i want to replace certain words in the translated product names in bulk, how can i best do that? Thanks! Bye Ward

Mihai Apetrei WPML Supporter since 03/2018 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there, Ward. There's no way to bulk-edit product names. This would require some custom work for example: Replace with a "search and replace" plugin straight from the database the exact phrase you don't like. In this case, DB search replace can do the job but you need to update the translated title in ATE/CTE when translating otherwise it will overwrite the change So this really falls out of the purpose of our Support Policy, so I would recommend a WPML contractor (https://wpml.org/contractors/) or a developer, to make sure all of this is handled carefully, in case it is too much of a hassle for you to do it manually. I hope that you will find the information I shared above helpful. Have a lovely rest of the day! Mihai Apetrei

bergmans23	Hi Mihai, Okay, clear! Understandable, but a shame that there's no big button to do that! 🙂 We'll do it manually for now. It's only 500 products! 🙂 Thanks for your help! Bye Ward
