 * Hello,
    I am creating new website and the thing I don’t like is lack of stock
   status strings in front end.
 * On my website it only shows – IN STOCK or OUT OF STOCK.
 * My question is: how to add more strings in front end?
    For example: I have 0 
   items right now, but item can be backordered. I want that customers can see for
   example “I am out of stock, but you can backorder the item” instead of “OUT OF
   STOCK”.
 * Also, if I have 0 stock of item, it cannot be ordered and no matter if I select
   that the item can be backordered or not.
 * Any chances to add more strings for customers to see?
    And how to make, that 
   if I have 0 stock of item and I allow backorders, the “Add to cart” button appear
   under product page?
 * WC Version: 2.6.4
    WP Version: 4.5.3
 * I have taken a few pictures to be more clear. I upload them and post link below:
