New Google reCaptcha: How to change text "I'm not a robot"

Tags:

I've installed the latest Google reCaptcha tool on our yoga website. Now the users are confused about the text "I'm not a robot" that appears next to the checkbox.

Most of our users do not know what the word "robot" means in this context and they think the form is broken. They also feel less safe using our form as it is weird to see the word "robot" on a yoga website.

How do I change the text "I'm not a robot" to something else that the users understand?

The docs appear silent on this point...

Also, it seems like the contents of the reRecaptcha are completely locked down via remote JS and CSS. I've unsuccessfully tried using the following javascript to change the text for Googles recaptcha-anchor-label:

<script type="text/javascript">     $(document).ready(function () {         $("#recaptcha-anchor-label").text("Something different.");     }); </script>

Why does Google say I am not a robot?

Google interprets that your IP address / device sends multiple search requests at the same time (this creates a suspicious effect on the search engine). With CAPTCHA, Google makes sure that you are not a robot or a computer program that sends multiple requests for search or spam.

How do I change CAPTCHA type?

Settings Navigate to the settings category. Security & Membership -> Protection Under , select a . CAPTCHA settings Control to use Save the settings. When you change the CAPTCHA type, all web parts and features that have CAPTCHA enabled use the new type.

It is possible to change "I'm not a robot" in Google Recaptcha into a different language by using language codes for the hl script parameter.

This is how you force Spanish, for example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?hl=es">

It is currently impossible using their tool. If you want to use a different method of stopping robots: Uninstall reCaptcha, and use something you have control over, maybe a simple randomized question and answer that pertains to yoga.
