Change button text

Change button text was created by tammo
LimeSurvey 5.2.11
Own server
Vanilla based custom theme

Previously this was discussed in:  forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...ange-the-next-button but since this was long ago and since the themes have changed significantly, this question arises again.

Under each page there is the "Next" button and at the last page there is the "Submit" button. 

What is needed to change the text of the "Submit" button and leave the text of the "Next" buttons unchanged in a survey in 1 language?

Changing the language files is not an option, since there is a new release of LimeSurvey very often.

At updates the language files may be replaced by new versions, thereby deleting all custom updates.

You can always create your own language... nl-tm
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

True, but that would still be difficult to maintain, since new language items may be introduced when the developers see the need for this.

You want to change the text in only one language, but leave it in all others?

I tried this
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
  var lang = "{LANG}";
  if(lang=='en') {
  $('#ls-button-submit').text("My English Next Button");
  $('#ls-button-previous').text("My English Back Button"); 
  } 
});
</script>

I meant to say: I am using only one language. This would make it more simple, but your solution is more versatile.

But ?
Why use JS if you need it for all surveys ?
Update the Surey theme is always better, no ?

Denis: Thank you, but I would like to touch the twig files as little as possible, because new code may be added during development and when I make an override, I miss these new developments.

I may need it in multiple surveys, but each time the text in the end button may change...

But : js is new code too ?

Sorry : i try to understand why update theme is not a good solution.

I think we can include buttons , then maybe more easy ?

>I may need it in multiple surveys, but each time the text in the end button may change...

OK : create a SurveyTheme by survey seems awfull …
Add the string in SurveyTheme options ?
Sometimes i think to add unused data in SkelVanilla options …

js is added to the survey, changing the twig files possibly makes updating the theme more difficult.

If you want to keep the text "next" or "volgende" or ...  you may create a hidden question at the very end of the survey.
