Problem/Motivation

When a user encounters a Media field (for example, when creating a new node), they may be confused by the button that says, "Add media." Although "media" is well-understood by the Drupal community, it may be less familiar to other communities. Or, a site may use a Media field for a single media type, in which something like, "Add photos" or "Add files" may be a more appropriate action.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Configure a Media field on a node type.
  2. Use the "Media Library" widget (in the "Manage Form" tab).
  3. Create a new node: the button displayed says "Add media".

Proposed resolution

If we made the text of the button configurable through a field in the widget settings (of the "manage form" tab), then users could override the default text of "Add media".

Remaining tasks

We discussed this issue during a UX call. Remaining tasks are:

  1. Remove the word "Add" from "Add button text"
  2. Remove the word "media" from "No media items are selected." and "[x] media item[x] remaining." (help text around the media field)
  3. Write at least one automated test for this issue. Ideally, one would text if the default text is changed that it shows in a form (required), and the other would be to demonstrate that it's translatable (optional)
  4. Create a follow-up issue to address the "[x] media item[x] remaining." language, which we felt is a little confusing, but not completely related to this issue.
  5. Add images to the issue showing the various stages of the configuration (including translation) to expedite review
