I can see that you went ahead and just translated the placeholders. Why is this a locked thing? Why is this not a field we can edit our self? Or opt out to show a placeholder in the form fields for name etc? We use Swedish as language, but having a stereotypical name as a placeholder is not really okey, locking us in to a set standard.

Hi there!

Any updates on editing the fields? It would be very nice for languages that are not currently supported on Typeform so we can localise better.

Many thanks!

Hi @liz, I´m another potential foreign customer who won´t use Typeform with his customers because the placeholder text cannot be translated into their native language.

Hi ​@OliveeeD What language are you looking for? I’ll share this with our product team and also specify the language, too!

Hi

How do we remove the placeholder text on our form - for example - we don’t want ‘Jane’ showing up on the first name question?
