submit button [#162339]

hi,

I'd love to give the submit button a different translation - but I just don't know where and/or how..
At the moment the German translation seems to be pulled from the overall drupal translation files - so it reads "Eintragen" which would basically mean something very close to "Submit" but it could be also understood as something like "Register" or "Enroll" or "Inscribe"...
Since I'm using webform as a contact form "Send" (or actually the german word "Abschicken") would much better describe the function of the form..

I already tried to find the submit button in the code - but could not find it.. There even one in the german.po-File but that seems to have no influence on the form-submit...
#: webform.module:589
msgid "Submit"
msgstr "Absenden"

thanks for any pointer/tipps..
greetz, t..

I've had the same problem and I'm now using this little workaround:

By appending a little javascript at the bottom of my page.tpl.php I was able to change the text:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
button = document.getElementById("edit-submitbutton");
if (button) button.value="Absenden";
//-->
</script>

It works for me, but it's the quick and dirty way.

Best regards,

Boris

works like a charm - thank you very much!

I then also added a line of PHP and now it only appears in my webforms:

<?PHP if($node->type == "webform") { ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
button = document.getElementById("edit-submitbutton");
if (button) button.value="Abschicken";
//-->
</script>
<?PHP } ?>

greetings, tille..

ähm - I actually have to correct myself - don't know the reason yet, but the javascript seems to break my webforms completely so that they won't function anymore - at all..:| I don't get any error messages, but the form wouldn't work either: no mail sent, no entry saved, no functionality.. - ..just as I described in this other issue:
http://drupal.org/node/165400

hm. So this means I can choose between a 'nice' sibmit button and a functional webform..? ..we'll see..

you can change line 1178 of webform.module to the value you need:

'#value' => t('Submit'),

I would like to see this as a feature request, aside from Drupal tech arguments, it's not more than normal choosing a button text, depending on the form's nature. E.g. 'send mail' or 'subscribe to workshop' is much more semantic compared to 'submit'.

Just my 2...

I totally agree - that would be really great - especially since webform is designed for having various forms.. I was actually already thinking of further 'hacking' bundes' 'hack' (thank you very much, bundes!) by adding some if-then's to them.. and maybe I'll still have to do that.. but of course it would be much nicer if it was possible to define that from the webform admin page..
