How to substitute text with an icon inside a button?

I included the following dropdown Bootstrap button on my webpage:

<!-- Example single danger button -->
<div class="btn-group">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
    Action
  </button>
  <div class="dropdown-menu">
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
    <div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
  </div>
</div>

I want to substitute the text Action with the following icon:

<i class="fas fa-language"></i>

I've been trying with the following code but it doesn't work:

<div class="btn-group">
                <button id="translate"  type="button" class="btn btn-danger dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
                    <i class="fas fa-language"></i>
                </button>
                <div class="dropdown-menu">
                    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
                    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
                    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
                    <div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
                    <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
                </div>
            </div>

How might it substitute the text of a button with an icon?

I added the following in the of the HTML file, as recommended, and it solved the problem:

<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.9.0/css/all.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.12.9/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
