changing 'availability' text triggers to have 3 options

Hi all,
using 2.3.0.2
I am looking to edit the text for stock status, currently stock >1 is 'In Stock' and Stock 0 or Less than Zero is 'Out of Stock'

I want to edit this so that if I input a -1 Qty that Stock Status will say 'Pre-Order'
I would also like to set stock zero - checkout not available - stock -1 or lower - checkout becomes available again as its now a preorder.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Admin/system/localisation/stock statuses

Thanks for the reply, maybe i wasnt clear in my original post, I am looking to edit more than just the text / status .

Opencart only has 2 options or Triggers rather for showing statuses :
+ve values of stock as in stock, or Zero or -ve values as out of stock.

I want create a third trigger - i want to be able to enter a value of -1 and for the status to then be Pre-order

I also then want to be able to allow Store checkout when values are negative ( as they will now be on pre-order) . My store as default is set to not allow checkout on out of stock items as i dont want people buying out of stock items. However when i know i am getting specific items in i can set the value to -1 and set it to pre-order, then and only then will it again allow store checkout.

so for example

value 1 or higher - IN STOCK ( and this will allow store checkout)
Value 0 - OUT OF STOCK ( and no store checkout is allowed)
Value -1 or lower ( PRE_ORDER) and store checkout is allowed)
