How do you change the default translations from English to Spanish in the application interface?  
I have seen that many times you can change the default literal, but in others there is no option. For example when you edit a form/table in Spanish you get ‘cancel’ (form cancel) or **‘Enviar’ (from Submit)**. I don’t like ‘Enviar’/Submit, it is a very technical name, I would simply like to be able to put for example **‘Aceptar’ (Accept),** but I don’t see any place to change it (I am in a list component, in a form of the selected record with the data of the record to change).

It’s automatic based on the region settings on your device and/or your browser.

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of Glide at the moment. It is not possible to customize cancel and submit button from edit screen and form screen.

You could use Helper Tables and new screens in order to have the best customizable options.
