We are in the process of launching a new website. As we were reviewing our old forms, we began looking into how we would handle translations. Having 7 versions of the same form (Contact Us English, Contact Us French, Contact Us German, etc.) sounds aweful to us. I am curious, how have others handled translations of forms in Marketo?

@Sanford Whiteman shared this wonderful method for handling translations, https://blog.teknkl.com/smoothing-embedded-marketo-form-loads/. Has anyone tried this approach? Any challenges we should anticipate?

It’s PlaceholderText, not Placeholder.

I have.

Good when paired with https://blog.teknkl.com/safely-embedding-json-in-a-rich-text-as-opposed-to-plain-text-my-token/

Thanks for your reply Sanford! In reading through the link, that is for Marketo LPs, but not embedded forms on the main site, correct?

@sanfordwhiteman is it possible to modify the placeholder value of a field using this method? I've tried adding placeholder as part of the JSON but it does not change the placeholder value of the field I reference. I've added it to the JSON like this:

{
Name: "FirstName",
Placeholder: "Séance B"
}
