SeleniumBase for Rust includes a small translator utility that maps simple action names into multiple languages. This is useful for localized test reports or for teams that prefer non-English step names.

Use in tests#

let action = sb.translate_action("click", "zh");sb.perform_named_action(&action, "#button").await?;
