I have found a solution myself that works. With the plugin Loco Translate I was able to change the value ‘Taxes’ in the WooCommerce entry ‘Steuern’ to ‘Mehrwertsteuer’, see screenshot: https://www.karmatech.ch/wp-content/uploads/Cart-Block-based-changed-with-LocoTranslate.jpg
Is there perhaps a simpler method without a plugin?
Hi @jpkarmatech
That is correct way to handle it but if you’re fine with custom code then you can use get text function something like this. You can add this code in your active child theme’s function.php file
function change_taxes_label($translated_text, $text, $domain) {
if ($domain === 'woocommerce') {
if ($translated_text === 'Steuern') {
return 'Mehrwertsteuer';
}
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter('gettext', 'change_taxes_label', 10, 3);
Thanks

If you make a custom translation file with Loco Translate, you can save it in the normal location or in the custom location. If you save it in the normal location, your custom file will be overwritten by the next translation file update. If you save it in the custom location, you will need to update new strings yourself. Neither method is great.
It would be better to use Ahir’s code or the Say What? plugin, and leave the default translation alone.

Hello jpkarmatech,
Thank you for contacting WooCommerce support.
I understand that after switching from shortcode-based to Gutenberg block-based cart and checkout pages, the term Mehrwertsteuer (VAT) has been replaced with Steuern (Taxes), and the blocks are locked for editing.
To confirm, were you able to resolve this problem?
Please let me know if you need further assistance or have questions.
I appreciate Ahir Hemant and Majeed Raza for their contribution here.
Have great day!
