A coworker turned up this page looking to do the same thing, and found that she could pass in the resource string of her choice.
e.g. (approximately)
editProfileForm.SubmitButton.ResourceString = "Save Changes"; // or resource string with that text
NOT
editProfileForm.SubmitButton.Text= "Save Changes";
btw: Hi, Robert! Either we're coworkers or you share names with a developer in my office. :-)
