Hello,

I'm running an experiment through inquisit web. We use smartphones to collect the data. I'm wondering whether the buttons for <back>, <continue> and <space> can be changed because all other elements in our application are not in English. I would like these buttons to show different texts. Is that possible?

Many thanks for helping out!

Is there an option like this for the <space> button? On a PC you would press the spacebar but on a phone it shows a button with this text

In short, no, though you can of course change the respective trials. I.e. either use a different key, or since you're using smartphones for data collection exclusively, switch the trial's /inputdevice to mouse and use a <button> element as the response.
