Translating the "Select an option"

    Hi there... I am using enhanced dropdown and need to translate the words:

    1. No results found
    2. Please select an option

    With no. 2 I know that I can add an option without a value but this is not suitable for me as this makes that option clickable within the dropdown. I would prefer to translate the appropriate default text.

    Thank you

  2. Do you have a link to your form online please? I am not familiar with where that text pops up, but if I can see it I can help find out if it can be translated easily.

  4. You're correct, that is not an upgrade-proof solution. You can change those strings in the chosen script by adding some JavaScript to your page. Please see here:
