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.

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.

Hm, that was my challenge; to find out how to get the language.

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...
