veliF	Hello, I want to know if it is possible to translate the file upload type: type="file" It is known that this element will change per browser and language. Thanks in advance!

There are some custom coding solutions workarounds listed here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14340519/html-input-file-how-to-translate-choose-file-and-no-file-chosen. Best Regards Marcel
