now all the buttons have a verb instead of "submit". Kind of fixed.

We can dynamically set the submit button's label to "Add" or "Edit" (or whatever) depending on the situation. Giedre, you can probably look at the wordings in general. If you need help in making dynamic changes, ask me or Janne.

From user perspective all "Add..." pages should have the buttons "Cancel" and "Add" instead of "Cancel" and "Submit".

HOWEVER, if and then these pages are also used for EDITING already added information, we can't have the word "Add" on the same button. Instead, it should read "Save" or somesuch.

IN SUMMARY, I don't think the current Cancel/Submit word pair is too confusing and we can leave it as such.

Still, it is important to notice that our use of button naming is INCONSISTENT (for example see how Cancel/Submit compares to KB's Cancel/Preview and Cancel/Edit/Publish button names).

In the future, I think we need to solve this consistently and in such a manner that it provides more understandable AND consistent button naming convention (from user's perspective) - BOTH at the same time.
