Not every user likes the default settings how some buttons are displayed on the WordPress editor. As of right now, there is no possibility to adjust it directly via a filter. The following source code describes a solution to change the link buttons and their content to easily set links with custom values. The small Plugin changes the values with the help of Javascript and returns a popup for set links with custom values inside the Plugin.
The following source change the strings and you see the result on the screenshot below.
<?php
/**

add_action( 'admin_footer-post.php', 'fb_admin_footer', 9999 );
add_action( 'admin_footer-post-new.php', 'fb_admin_footer', 9999 );
function fb_admin_footer() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
( function( $ ) {
if ( typeof wpLink == 'undefined' )
return;
wpLink.setDefaultValues = function () {
$('#url-field').val( '<?php echo home_url( '/' ) ?>' );
$('#link-title-field').val( 'This works :)' );
$('#wp-link-submit').val( 'Use this link' );
};
} )( jQuery );
</script>
<?php
}

This is extremely useful, especially for custom-built sites. How would you go about changing the Publish button to something like Create or Save. This is something I’m trying to do on a current project
