Change Google Translator Text

Question

Can you change the text on the Google Translator to display Translator instead of select language?

I have tried:

$('#google_translate_element').text("Translator");
$('#google_translate_element span').text("Translator");

Answer 1

That element (#google_translate_element) has many child elements, the text you're looking for is inside a span inside an anchor inside a span inside a div inside a div inside #google_translate_element. To do this properly, you should address only that very last span:

  $($(" #google_translate_element .goog-te-menu-value span")[0]).html("this one?");
