Rename Woocommerce "Orders" admin submenu

Question

How can I rename the order submenu in WooCommerce?

I've tried it this way but it's not working:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rename_texts', 20, 3 );
function rename_texts( $translated ) {      
    switch ( $translated ) {
        case 'Bestellungen' :
            $translated = __( 'My Tests', 'woocommerce' );
            break;
    }

    return $translated;
}

You need to use gettext_with_context hook instead of gettext to be able to make it work this way:

add_filter('gettext_with_context', 'rename_woocommerce_admin_text', 100, 4 );
function rename_woocommerce_admin_text( $translated, $text, $context, $domain ) {
    if( $domain == 'woocommerce' && $context == 'Admin menu name' && $translated == 'Bestellungen' ) {
        // Here your custom text
        $translated = 'Custom text';
    }
    return $translated;
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (active theme). Tested and works.

Or you can also use this that will target the non translated "Orders" text instead:

add_filter('gettext_with_context', 'rename_woocommerce_admin_text', 100, 4 );
function rename_woocommerce_admin_text( $translated, $text, $context, $domain ) {
    if( $domain == 'woocommerce' && $context == 'Admin menu name' && $text == 'Orders' ) {
        $translated = __('Custom text', $domain );
    }
    return $translated;
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (active theme). Tested and works.
