Making changes in Q&A function ‘dwqa_get_latest_activity_text’

Hello,
I’m using the Q&A Pro plugin and I’ve managed to customize it a lot.
But there’s one thing I’m struggling with, it’s in the following function:

function dwqa_get_latest_activity_text( $context ) {
 $latest_activity_texts = apply_filters( 'dwqa_get_latest_activity_text', array(
 'answered' => __( 'answered', 'dwqa' ),
 'commented' => __( 'commented', 'dwqa' ),
 ) );
foreach( $latest_activity_texts as $key => $text ) {
if ( $context == $key ) {
return $text;
}
}

return $context;
}

Is there a way for me to change the words ‘answered’ and ‘commented’? (I don’t want to translate them, but really want to change the words)

Well, you can change the text in the brackets to what you want to translate:

__( 'answered', 'dwqa' ),

Change :

__( 'your words', 'dwqa' ),

This is a way of doing it. But: the function is located in the plugin. So changing the text like this would mean changing a core file of the plugin. And that’s not a good solution.

Maybe I’m looking for a way to change the function outside of the plugin files. I’ve tried several thing in my functions.php, but the function doesn’t seem to be pluggable..
