Hi,
I have a 7 language survey.
Few questions include a text entry that pops up once a response is checked.
For the hint text of the text entry, I'm using the following code:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
var qid = this.questionId;
var placeholder1 = 'Please specify';
var placeholder2 = 'Please specify';
jQuery('#' + qid + ' .InputText')[0].setAttribute('placeholder',placeholder1);
jQuery('#' + qid + ' .InputText')[1].setAttribute('placeholder',placeholder2);
});
The issue is that "please specify" is the hint text to all languages which is not optimal.
How do I solve it and add hint text per language?
Thanks

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {
let lang = "${e://Field/Q_Language}",
placeholder_text;
switch (lang) {
case "EN-GB":
placeholder_text = "Please Specify";
break;
case "ES-ES":
placeholder_text = "Something else";
break;
default:
placeholder_text = "Default Text that doesn't match any language";
}
this.questionContainer
.querySelectorAll(".InputText")
.forEach((tb) => (tb.placeholder = placeholder_text));
});
Survey language is available via an internal ED. You can customize the placeholder value based on that.
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {
let lang = "${e://Field/Q_Language}",
placeholder_text;
switch (lang) {
case "EN-GB":
placeholder_text = "Please Specify";
break;
case "ES-ES":
placeholder_text = "Something else";
break;
default:
placeholder_text = "Default Text that doesn't match any language";
}
this.questionContainer
.querySelectorAll(".InputText")
.forEach((tb) => (tb.placeholder = placeholder_text));
});
