Hi there! I am a new user of Inquisit and have a question about translation. Our team will be administering the n-back and OSPAN tasks in French and German, and I have translated the instructions to French. When I test the n-back task, the 'press the mouse to continue' instructions (changed on the expinstructions.htm) page are still in English, despite me translating them to french on the expinstructions.htm page. I am not sure where I am going wrong here and am wondering if anyone else has experience with this or with making sure that modifications to an .htm file are reflected in the task? If it helps, I edited the .htm file in WordPad. I would appreciate any help/tips with this!
Thank you and happy holidays!

For instruction pages, i.e. <page> and <htmlpage> elements displayed via /pre- and /postinstructions attributes, the labels on the navigation buttons are controlled by the script's <instruct> element. Specifically, you'll want to specify
<instruct>
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2.67%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ txcolor = white
/ screencolor = black
/ nextlabel = "Translation for the NEXT button label on instruction pages goes here"
/ prevlabel = "Translation for the BACK button label on instruction pages goes here"
/ finishlabel = "Translation for the NEXT button label on the final instruction page in a set goes here"
</instruct>
