Rails: How to change the text on the submit button in a Rails Form

Question

i have listed my _form.html.erb file below what i would like to do is change the text on the submit button i know how to do it in html but not shure how to do it in Rails 3<

Answer 1

You can use:

<%= f.submit 'Name of the submit button' %>

For questions like this, consider using the available docs either at

• Ruby on Rails API website
• APIdock Ruby on Rails section (very easy navigation / search)

Sometimes, a google search like the one below helps:

• Google: site:api.rubyonrails.org f.submit

Answer 2

instead of

<%= f.submit  %>

put

<%= f.submit "My Submit Text" %>

Answer 3

I had this problem and I only had to translate the model name this way:

pt-br:
  activerecord:
    models:
      user:
        one: "Usuário"
        more: "Usuários"

This also would complement @daniel's answer which gave me the hint what was missing. However, I suppose that @daniel's answer is not really necessary as it is already on rails-i18n

Answer 4

Just in case, I was trying with this scenario:

f.submit t('conf.begin') class: 'btn btn-outline btn-success'

But it was not working, the solution was with a comma before the class (it was not obvious at the begining for me):

f.submit t('conf.begin'), class: 'btn btn-outline btn-success'
