The repeatable form field uses the language string "JAPPLY", which is not included in the language files for frontend.
I know that the repeatable field is not used in core and may be deprecated again soon (see #7829). But as long as we ship it, we should make sure it works, both in backend and frontend.
Testing Instructions
Add a repeatable form field to any form .xml file that is used in frontend.
Example: Paste the code from the documentation into components/com_content/models/forms/article.xml.
Make sure the field is displayed by editing the according .php file.
Example: Add the following line at the bottom of components/com_content/views/form/tmpl/edit.php
View the form in frontend
Example: Create a menu link to submit an article in frontend and go there. You should see a "Select" button at the end of the form.
Click the "Select" button and note the submit button at the right bottom. Without the patch, it says "JAPPLY", with the patch "Save".
