Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, We found two workarounds to prevent this issues: 1. Using the equal sign (recommended method): Even though CF7 Allows you to write placeholder "Vardas" if you use the equal sign placeholder="Vardas" you will avoid this issue. - Go to Contact and edit your form in the original language. - Use the equal sign for the placeholder attribute for all fields and save. - Retranslate your form. 2. Manually correcting translations: The issue is that the shortcode [wpmlcf7-3-tel phone placeholder]* is wrongly translated to [wpmlcf7-3-tel tālruņa numura aizvietotājs]*. - Open the form translation in our translation editor. - The shortcode should be identical to te original (untranslated). - Only the label (above the shortcode) and the placeholder text (below the shortcode) should be translated.
