New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

OK, here's what I tried:
I uninstalled Fabrik completely from the Joomla system. I then downloaded a fresh copy Fabrik 3.1b from the website, and installed it into Joomla. That went well, and the labels were there, as expected.
Next, I downloaded a fresh copy of the Github files, extracted them, and uploaded them. I went to Extension Manager > Manage, selected all the Fabrik files, and performed a "refresh cache." I also went to the Discover screen and installed all of the not-yet-installed parts of Fabrik.
I then went to Components > fabrik > forms and tried to create a new form. The following screenshot shows what I'm (still) getting:
I looked at the file you mentioned (/administrator/components/com_fabrik/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_fabrik.ini) and do see those elements there. But for some reason, they're not being picked up.
I also see that the text used for the mouseover on the button labels is in the file, and it changed when I changed it in the file.
It seems as though where's something not right in the file which generates the form buttons page in the administrator area for the extension.

The change Troester was referring to was one of mine. I guess I missed this in testing because I didn't create a new list. Defaults are only applied on new lists. I will code a fix. Obviously you can type whatever you want into these fields i.e. Save for Save etc. in the mean time.

The idea here was that the defaults for a new form would be translated, however the values are read and set inside a joomla class rather than in Fabrik code, and I cannot find an easy means in Fabrik code to make the translation happen.
So I have raised PR-992 to put the strings back to where they were.
