avoid using `for .. in` on objects. Use `for .. of` instead or `Object.entries` or `Object.values` or `Object.keys`. Your code seems to work properly in the above snippet anyway, though the behavior you describe is really making me thing that the issue is just the for .. in. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29285897/what-is-the-difference-between-for-in-and-for-of-statements-in-jav — briosheje, Aug 07 '19 at 10:12
It works in the snippet because the function is only executed once. If you do it multiple times you get `Italianooooo` etc. @Alecs how are you calling this logic, and on exactly what HTML? — Rory McCrossan, Aug 07 '19 at 10:26
@RoryMcCrossan ops, I've lost the part where he said that he is running the code multiple times. — briosheje, Aug 07 '19 at 10:31
That happens only with the languages with have last the "ano" "Catalano", "Africano", "Italiano" i dont know way...I using UPME plugin in wordpress and when i change my profile etc ...i use the "jQuery(document).ready(function () {" — Alecs, Aug 07 '19 at 10:37
I think is better make the dictionary only if the Language is exactly, like that ? "/\ptrn\b/" — Alecs, Aug 07 '19 at 11:01

You are searching for word boundary \b

console.log("Italian".replace(/\bItalian\b/g, 'Italiano'))

console.log("Italiano".replace(/\bItalian\b/g, 'Italiano'))
