Ever found yourself in a situation where you need to load script translations just right? Well, WordPress has got you covered with the load_script_translation_file filter. If you’re like me, you probably enjoy the flexibility that WordPress hooks offer. Let’s dive into how you can use this filter effectively, without breaking a sweat!

Example 1: Modifying the Translation File Path

First up, here’s a way you can modify the path for loading script translations as per your website’s needs. This example shows how to implement the filter using the weplugins_ prefix.

function weplugins_modify_load_script_translation_file($file, $handle, $domain) { 
    // Customize the file path logic here
    return $file; 
}
// Add the filter
add_filter("load_script_translation_file", "weplugins_modify_load_script_translation_file", 10, 3);

Example 2: Conditional Translation Path

Sometimes, you might want to load different translation files based on certain conditions. Here’s how you could handle such a scenario.

function weplugins_conditional_translation_path($file, $handle, $domain) {
    if ($domain === 'special-domain') {
        // Alter the file path for a specific domain
        $file = '/path/to/special/translation-' . $handle . '.php';
    }
    return $file;
}
add_filter("load_script_translation_file", "weplugins_conditional_translation_path", 10, 3);

Example 3: Removing the Filter

If you need to remove a filter for some reason, you can do so effortlessly. Just make sure you provide the exact callback function name, priority, and number of arguments.

remove_filter("load_script_translation_file", "weplugins_modify_load_script_translation_file", 10, 3);

Using the load_script_translation_file filter is as simple as that! Feel free to experiment and see what works best for your situation. And if you’re ever stuck, remember—we’re here to help!
