# It would be nice to…

It would be nice to add a search function to the transalion editor. It is hardly
possible to find a typo in a translationfile with 3908 sentences.
 Export, edit 
with Poedit and re-import is clumsy and annoying… and prone to new mistakes…

 6.  Hi Jacob, there IS such a function. Just use the function “filterFilter Filters
     are one of the two types of Hooks [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks).
     They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the
     counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated
     manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables 
     and output.”
