Answers.Text: I don't completely understand what you mean but agree in general that word replacements isn't meant for replacing large amounts of text. Originally it wasn't meant for translation at all, it was meant for english replacement of english words, like replacing Contributions with Payments. So it may not work well in all situations. An alternative for non-english is to use your own .mo file with your changes. You can create .mo files using gettext and the .po files from https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/translation/-/tree/master.

  I agree that it was meant for english replacement of english words. Perhaps we should adapt the help text in French to that effect.

  I tried different word replacements and they are working well. Is it due to the accents ? to a bad coding ?
