Tell us what you are trying to do? This is a single language site (German), no budget for a translation plugin

Is there any documentation that you are following? https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-translate-cred-frontendform-buttons-z-b-upload-or-select-file/

Is there a similar example that we can see? same as link above. The button needs to read instead: 'Datei wählen oder hochladen'

What is the link to your site? hidden link

2) also the drop down of the Select custom field (Zielgruppe) says '-- Not Set --' which I need to read '-- auswählen --'

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know are you using WPML, if Yes, then you can translate the string using String Translation plugin.

Please check the following image:

From the string translation page, you should select the "wp-cred" as the domain from "All Domain" dropdown and search for the string "Upload or select file" and then translate into all your required languages.

The same steps apply to search the string "Not Set".

Hi Minseh,
The client has no budget for the WPML plug-in license in this project. I need the PHP code to translate these items. Also is there an easy way for me to find out what the code is myself in the future, as I may encounter other items on the website related to Toolset that need translating?

What if you try to add the following code to your current theme's functions.php file:

add_filter('gettext', function($translated_text, $untranslated_text, $domain){
	if($untranslated_text == 'Upload or select file' && $domain == 'wp-cred'){
		$translated_text = 'traslated test for Upload or select file goes here';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}, 10, 3);

Hi, how can I set this filter to work only in a specific language?
