Probably, through the i18n framework, but if you do that, you'll have to pass any recognition of the button value (in your controller) through the same framework. That's because the value will be changed, so judgement: [accept in another language] rather than accept.
You could possibly do this in JavaScript, such that your form submit behavior was to translate the language back when the button was clicked and before the form was sent to the server. Maybe something like this (leaving out the Rails generators at the moment):
<input type="submit" value="[accept in dutch]" data-value="accept">
// Prototype-flavored JavaScript
$('my_form').observe('submit', function(evt){
evt.stop();
this.select('input[data-value]').each(function(elm){
elm.setValue(elm.readAttribute('data-value'));
});
this.submit();
});
That should allow you to have the internationalized cake and eat it too.
