How to Change Placeholder Text Language in Your Web Forms

As a developer or a web designer, you may find it necessary to change the language of the placeholder text in input fields based on user preferences. This challenge can arise particularly when developing multilingual applications. In this guide, we'll tackle a common issue: how to change the language for placeholder text in a web form.

Understanding the Problem

You might be familiar with the scenario where you successfully switch between languages for buttons and headings, but the placeholder text in input fields stubbornly remains unchanged. This issue can stem from a couple of key errors in your JavaScript code used for this functionality.

Common Mistakes

Incorrect Object Properties: When trying to access the language data, you might be referencing properties that don't exist in your data object.

Wrong Property Assignment: Instead of changing the placeholder text correctly, you may inadvertently attempt to set it using the wrong property, such as textContent, which is not applicable for input fields.

Solution Steps

To successfully change the language of placeholder text in your form, let’s adjust the existing code and clarify how to correctly implement the changes. Below you'll find both corrected JavaScript and HTML code snippets that guide you through the process.

Step 1: Correcting the JavaScript Logic
