 * Hi.
    I wan’t to change the ” — Please select — ” button on my website, but I 
   can’t find it. I’ve found it in the danish translation, but it won’t change. 
   Anyone who can help? I’m pretty new to Loco translate.

 * You can use the function below. You can see ‘Name’ has been changed to ‘First
   Name’. Similarly you can change any text on your theme to any other text. Thanks!
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'gettext', 'theme_change_comment_field_names', 20, 3 );
       function theme_change_comment_field_names( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
   
           if ( is_singular() ) {
   
               switch ( $translated_text ) {
   
                   case 'Name' :
   
                       $translated_text = __( 'First Name', 'theme_text_domain' );
                       break;
               }
   
           }
   
           return $translated_text;
       }
       ```
