Replacing the standard inscriptions in the WordPress admin

Working with WordPress I often stumbled upon a misunderstanding of clients, what is a point POST or Media in admin panel. I recently found a simple and effective solution to this problem on the Internet.. WordPress has a standard solution to replace some of the default admin headers with the function str_ireplace(). I won't tell for a long time., just sharing a working example.

add_filter(  'gettext',  'wps_translate_words_array'  );
add_filter(  'ngettext',  'wps_translate_words_array'  );
function wps_translate_words_array( $translated ) {
     $words = array(
			// 'word to translate' = > 'translation'
			'Posts' => 'Article',
			'Post' => 'Articles',
			'Pages' => 'Stuffing',
			'Media' => 'Upload Images',
			'Links' => 'Blog Roll',
		    );
     $translated = str_ireplace(  array_keys($words),  $words,  $translated );
     return $translated;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'wps_translate_words_array' );

add_filter( 'ngettext', 'wps_translate_words_array' );

function wps_translate_words_array( $translated ) {

$words = array(

// 'word to translate' = > 'translation'

'Posts' => 'Article',

'Post' => 'Articles',

'Pages' => 'Stuffing',

'Media' => 'Upload Images',

'Links' => 'Blog Roll',

);

$translated = str_ireplace( array_keys($words), $words, $translated );

return $translated;

}

I checked everything, works great! Good luck with development ).
