categories - How to modify the "View all posts in category" title attribute

I'm tyring to change the "View all posts in category" tooltip you see when you hover over a category link in wordpress. Until now I've always done it in the Wordpress core file named category-template.php - however I'm searching for a method to do it in the functions.php so I don't have to change it after every Wordpress update.

I could only find this code to remove the "View all posts in category" title attribute alltogether, but I have no idea how to modify it:

add_filter( 'the_category', 'remove_category_title' );
function remove_category_title( $category ) {
return preg_replace( '/\s* title=\s*".*?"/i', '', $category );
}

I just want to change the text "View all posts in" and "View all posts filed under"

• There are multiple instances of this string in WordPress core. Which function exactly are you asking about? – Rarst Commented Apr 26, 2014 at 20:49
• ideally every instance of "View all posts in" and "View posts filed under" in the core file category-template.php. In line 59 for example $chain .= '<a href="' . esc_url( get_category_link( $parent->term_id ) ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $parent->name ) ) . '">'.$name.'</a>' . $separator; – ndru Commented Apr 26, 2014 at 21:02

Found something that works fine:

add_filter( 'the_category', 'remove_category_link_prefix' );
add_filter( 'wp_list_categories', 'remove_category_link_prefix' );

function remove_category_link_prefix($output) {
    $replace = array( 
            'View all posts in',
            'View all posts filed under' 
    );

    return str_replace( $replace, 'Text you want to show up', $output);
}
