Definition
替换 means 'to replace one thing with another', focusing on swapping out an item or piece of data for a new or correct one. It is more specific than 换 (huàn, 'to change/exchange') and more concrete than 代替 (dài tì, 'to take the place of' in a role or function). 替换 is used for physical objects or data, not for people in positions (接替) or for abstract transformation (转换).
