[Plugin: Contact Form 7] I can’t change the text on the submit button.

I had no time to wait so I hardcoded some changes to submit.php.

If someone else is having the same problem I explain what I did. First of all here is why I did it: I needed to have three different submit buttons for my website since the website has three different languages. So there should be “Send-button” in three languages. Of course each button is in it’s own contact form.

Here’s how I managed to change those texts.

Open submit.php from wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/modules and just change the following:

$value = $values[0];
if ( empty( $value ) )
$value = __( 'Send', 'wpcf7' );

To this:

$value = $values[0];
if (is_page('first contact page id here'))
$value = __( 'first submit text here' );
elseif ( is_page('second contact page id here'))
$value = __( 'second submit text here' );
else
$value = __( 'third submit text here' );

I’m no php coder, so it may not be beautifully written or even absolutely correct (honestly I don’t know, I just tried stuff until it worked) but it seems to work. This isn’t very good solution and I don’t recommend it because when you update the plugin, this code propably vanishes and you need to write it again. It’s based on basic conditional tags of WordPress.
