    Hello,

    I set the default localisation for the address field in Mailchimp to ‘Netherlands’ which shows the filed labels in dutch. However when I sync the for I made, the labels for the address fields still appear in english. What can I do about that?

    Hello,

    I found those.Unfortunately this does not work for the address field, since it does not allow custom placeholder text since it takes the strings directly from mailchimp!

    @wordmarcel,

    You’re correct the placeholder for the address field is coming directly from MailChimp.

    As a workaround for now you could use a filter to change the placeholder text.

    add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-address-addr1-placeholder', function( $placeholder ) {
  // Use functions from whatever translation plugin your using to determine current language.

  // Example lets say the language is French.
    $lang = 'french';

  if ( $lang === 'french' ) {
    return 'Adresse';
  }

  return $placeholder;
} );

    If you let me know what you’re using for translation I can fill in the gaps a little better.

    Cheers,
    Freddie
