How to Translate the Submit Button in Different Languages?

AndroidOL · February 25, 2025, 2:33pm

I need the submit button to be translated based on the selected language. However, it currently always displays Submit in English, and I can’t find a way to change it for other languages (string replacement not work)

Our teacher doesn’t understand English, so I need to make sure the button text is properly translated when switching languages. Is there a way to achieve this?

Hi!

Are you sure that, if you change the local language on your browser to the one which doesn’t work, it still shows ‘submit’?

I just checked in the language files we use (Portuguese, English and German) and this is correctly translated in all instances.

Which languages do you use and aren’t working?

Thank you @Xavier_Bit.

I wonder if you have any way to help test using Simplified Chinese (zh_CN.UTF-8), which is also a language that has been 100% fully translated.

But I can’t upload the newest translated file in this post.

I have confirmed that my server locale, client browser language, and client operating system language are all set to Simplified Chinese (zh_CN), and the corresponding translation entries also exist.

Only English ‘Submit’ Text:
$row->addSubmit()

Available for localization:
$row->addSubmit(__('Submit'))

I hope the development team can add text to all addSubmit() functions.

### Describe the Bug Improve createSubmit method to support dynamic translation… https://github.com/GibbonEdu/core/commit/2ae46677f95f9932c9eabebcb0c5078e8e7894c3 I noticed that in src/Forms/FormFactory.php, the $label parameter is not wrapped with __(), which prevents the submit button text from being properly localized. I have not created a pull request to avoid unintended changes affecting other users. I hope the developers can review this issue and apply the necessary fix. ### To Reproduce return $this->createButton($label, null, $id)->setType('submit')->addClass('text-right'); ### Expected behavior return $this->createButton(__($label), null, $id)->setType('submit')->addClass('text-right'); ### Actual behavior Submit Button Label Not Translated in FormFactory.php ### Screenshots _No response_ ### Gibbon version 28.0.01 ### Browser Chrome ### Browser Version _No response_ ### Additional Context _No response_

I have already modified the code in my local version, and it is working well. I hope the developers can review this issue and confirm the fix.

Thank you! @Xavier_Bit
