Override WooCommerce Shop Site Breadcrumb with Yoast SEO Breadcrumb

Question

I tried to remove the WooCommerce Breadcrumbs with this code:

add_action( 'init', 'remove_wc_breadcrumbs' ); 
function remove_wc_breadcrumbs() { 
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_breadcrumb', 20, 0 ); 
}

...which works.

After that I activated the Yoast Seo Plugin Breadcrumbs an placed this code in my theme header.php

<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
    yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>');
    } ?>

...which also works.

The problem appears when I navigate to my "shop-site" which I defined in the WooCommerce settings. The full breadcrumb looks like this

Home > Product

Note: The Page name in WordPress for the "shop-site" is "Test" (not "Product").

I want to override the "Product" in something different. I tried to override it by defining a custom breadcrumb title in the advanced Yoast settings on the wordpress "shop-site" page but it didn't seems to work. Overriding works if the page isn't defined as the "shop-site" in the WooCommerce settings. So I guess some function overwrites the Yoast Breadcrumb override but I can't figure out which function does this.

The same problem appears when I navigate to a single product. Breadcrumb looks like this

Home > Product > Product Name

Again I want to rename the "Product" (only the second crumb here) into something different.

Can someone solve this mysticism?

I fixed it with this code:

add_filter( 'wpseo_breadcrumb_output', 'custom_wpseo_breadcrumb_output' );
function custom_wpseo_breadcrumb_output( $output ){
if( is_product() ){
    $from = 'rel="v:url" property="v:title">Product</a>'; 
    $to = 'rel="v:url" property="v:title">New Title</a>';
    $output = str_replace( $from, $to, $output );
}

elseif ( is_shop() ) {
    $from = '<span class="breadcrumb_last">Products</span>'; 
    $to = '<span class="breadcrumb_last">New Title</span>';
    $output = str_replace( $from, $to, $output );
}
return $output;
}
