    Hello, the FAQ https://speakout.123host.net.au/faq/ says:
    Can I change the submit button?
    -> Change the text in dashboard > SpeakOut! > petitions > edit > Submit button text

    I do not find this settings in
    Installation site: https://test.embargo.energy/blatest (temporary testing site) which now is a mix of German and English.

    Btw, is it a design goal of SpeakOut to have interfaces to the same petition data from different language frontends (e.g. German and English?) at the time or has anyone done this before? Thanks!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I can’t remember if it is just wrong, or I moved it. I have fiexd up the FAQ now.

    You can find that field in dashboard > SpeakOut! > settings > petition form tab

    Unfortunately for you, the plugin is linked to the WordPress language. It can’t be done at the moment, but I just had an idea on how it might be that I will explore.

    Meanwhile, the closest you can get is to display the petition message as text on different pages. e.g. one page is English and has the message text in English above or below the petition, another page has the message text in German. However, the petition form itself will be in the site language. There may be a plugin that will do this, but I am not sure if it will work.

    Hello 123host, thanks, this helped me to solve the problem. Fwiw, your updated instruction does not occur in the FAQ version at https://speakout.123host.net.au/faq/ yet (still the old instructions).

    As mentioned that you want to explore an idea (good!), to share my observations, as for multilinguality, you do have some rudimental support as illustrated here (temporarily) for English [1], German [2], French [3], where it e.g. correctly transcribes “First Name” [1], “Vorname” [2], “Prenom” [3] and all these three seem to feed into the same database, it just that features such as the Submission button seem not to be multilang-capable.

    At the moment, solving this in the production version by pointing from the English page [4] to a German page (main audience is in Germany anyway) but it is not very elegant …

    Oops – I hadn’t clicked Update I don’t think. I have done that now and the FAQ is up to date. Thanks again.

    As for multilingual. The issue is that I use some code that effectively says “take this English word and look up the (German) language file, then display the translation”. But by giving you the option to have your own text instead of “Sign Now” there is no way for me to provide a translation.

    As for your pages, no, it isn’t particularly elegant, but it is a solution. If you then disable the option to “Display petition message” in dashboard > SpeakOut! > petitions > edit > display options tab, you can then add the message as a text block in the appropriate language.
