Problem translating buttons with the value attribute.

Hey guys,

I face an issue translating a wordpress site using the Transposh plugin. Particularly I can’t translate properly the contact form that I am using at one of my client’s website. (url http://www.coho.gr/home/en/%CE%B5%CF%80%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%BF%CE%B9%CE%BD%CF%89%CE%BD%CE%B7%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B5/ ) The red button under the contact form should be translated into “Submit” but although I have tried numerous times to change it nothing happened. After contacting with the plugin athor he replied with this message

“Buttons with the value attribute can't be translated as this attribute might be used in the processing of the form, If you wish to translate it, you may either use gettext or the transposh_echo() function inside your code,”

So how can I fix this problem as I am not so familiar with php and gettext ?

Thank you very much guys!!

Have a nice day!

Best Regards,

Iraklis Pekkas

unfortunately I don't have any translation experience, but here is the official word from WordPress on using gettext() : http://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/tools/gettext/
