You can use the following translation keys to translate buttons in EXT:form.

element.Form.renderingOptions.submitButtonLabel
element.Page.renderingOptions.previousButtonLabel
element.Page.renderingOptions.nextButtonLabel
element.SummaryPage.renderingOptions.previousButtonLabel
element.SummaryPage.renderingOptions.nextButtonLabel

These allow to localize button labels globally for all forms equally.

You can set translated custom labels for specific forms, too. Please mind the special position of the form-identifier inside the translation key only for the submit button (seems a bug):

element.<form-identifier>.renderingOptions.submitButtonLabel

To translate previous and next buttons for specific forms, you can use the element-identifiers. You can also combine these with a form-identifier.

Form definition (excerpt):

renderables:
  -
    renderingOptions:
      previousButtonLabel: 'Previous step'
      nextButtonLabel: 'Next step'
    identifier: summarypage-1
    label: 'Summary page'
    type: SummaryPage

Translation keys:

<form-identifier>.element.<element-identifier>.renderingOptions.nextButtonLabel
element.<element-identifier>.renderingOptions.nextButtonLabel
<form-identifier>.element.<element-identifier>.renderingOptions.previousButtonLabel
element.<element-identifier>.renderingOptions.previousButtonLabel

Example keys for the form definition above:

MyContactForm.element.summarypage-1.renderingOptions.previousButtonLabel
element.summarypage-1.renderingOptions.previousButtonLabel

Limitation: You can not translate previous and next buttons when combining the form-identifier and the general element-type (like 'SummaryPage').

The following won't work:

<form-identifier>.element.SummaryPage.renderingOptions.nextButtonLabel
