Hi, I am using JSONForms in my application and trying to translate it with i18n. The label and input descriptions are translating very well using the createTranslator function.

Now I want to translate the placeholder that is provided via the options in the uiSchema. Is there a way to do this using jsonforms? I haven’t found anything in the docs about this.  
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this? Is there a way to do this with jsonforms or is a custom solution needed?

Thanks in advance 😃

Hi @FNG-2002,

The placeholder is applied directly at the moment, see [here](https://github.com/eclipsesource/jsonforms/blob/d7f34b98d9091fa29bc61178b33b96ae2cbd8519/packages/vue-vanilla/src/controls/StringControlRenderer.vue#L14).

If you like you can do a contribution to JSON Forms to make this value translatable too.

For now you can translate your UI Schemas before handing them over to JSON Forms as a workaround.
