How do I translate the Save as PDF button text on a multilingual WordPress site?

For one site language, set the button label directly with Button Text. For a multilingual site, use Button Text Translation only when WordPress already has translations for the button text.

For a single language

In the plugin settings, open Expert Settings > Button Look and change Button Text, for example to Download PDF or your translated label.

This is the simplest option when the site does not switch languages.

For a multilingual site

Set Button Text to the source text, then set Button Text Translation to Automatic - look up in your internationalization files.

Automatic translation looks for the exact button text in the translation files already loaded by WordPress. If the phrase is not translated there, the button will keep the original text.

If you know that the translation belongs to a specific theme or plugin text domain, choose Look up in the text domain and enter that domain, usually the theme or plugin slug.

For one shortcode button

If a manually placed button needs its own text, set it on the shortcode:

[save_as_pdf_pdfcrowd button_text="Download PDF"]

If that shortcode should use WordPress translation files, add:

[save_as_pdf_pdfcrowd button_text="Save as PDF" button_translation="auto"]

If the generated output uses the wrong language

Button Text Translation changes only the button label. It does not choose which translated page content is converted.

The Locale option is different: it controls regional formatting during conversion, such as date and number formatting. It does not translate the button text or select the translated page.
