In the action theme, when the special pages are linked to the "homepage" tag have a special widget that appears. These special widget are great. How can they be modified? In particular, they seem to have specific text for the action buttons ("donate today" for the donate page, "read more" and "sign up" for the volunteer page). How can I customise these? I need to translate them to another language. Are they hardcoded in the theme or do they get the text value from somewhere?

Here’s NationBuilder’s guide on how to create a custom theme: https://nationbuilder.com/theme_documentation
Make sure you have Action applied to your site before you begin that process, so you can choose the option to “Clone your current theme (Action)”.
Once you’ve created the custom theme, you can edit the values in the file _homepage_excerpt.html. Each page type is labeled in the file, for example "" is at the top of the code for the Volunteer Signup page homepage widget. You’ll then find the call-to-action text below that, which you can change. Then save and publish the theme, and switch your site over to your new custom version of Action!
I hope that helps,
Alex
