In my form there is no way to change the submit button text from “send message” to something else.

In the meantime, you can use this code in CSS Box to rename text Or you can use AI Form Builder [Meet Elfsight AI Form Generator! 🔥 - #17 by Helga](https://community.elfsight.com/t/meet-elfsight-ai-form-generator/14395/17)

```auto
button span span[class*="ButtonBase"] {
    font-size: 0;
}

button span span[class*="ButtonBase"]:before {
    content: "edit your text";
    font-size: 20px;
}

```

Hi @John_Menke and welcome to Community ❤

I am glad to tell you that you can also change button text without CSS codes directly in the widget settings. You just need to choose Language section on the Appearance tab and choose the needed element:

Please let me know if it helped or if you have any other questions 🙂

This is very unintuitive and needs to be clearer on the configuration screen.

@Hugh I agree that this option is far from being obvious now, we’ll try to discuss it with the team 👍🏻

I also agree. I checked all options in Form before using CSS code to achieve this 😅
