Selection Element Placeholder Text Translation
Hello,
The placeholder text can be translated/customized by using a XML language file. Create any XML file such as Forms.xml in the /Lang folder of your solution. The following snippet is an example of how you can override the default placeholder text of the Selection element for the English language.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<languages>
<language name="English" id="en">
<episerver>
<forms>
<viewmode>
<selection>
<!--Update the values here to override-->
<selectanoption>-- Select an option --</selectanoption>
<selectoptions>-- Select options --</selectoptions>
</selection>
</viewmode>
</forms>
</episerver>
</language>
</languages>
I do not have the Portugues language configured so that's why I'm using English as an example. However to do this for Portugues simply update the values in the <language> element. You can find more details about the translation files and how to use them in the documentation here:

Hi
I have a form with a Selection element,
In that, I see the default Placeholder text is displaying as "-- Select an option --", (I'm not sure from where it's coming)
My problem is the default Placeholder is not translating for Portuguese, however, it's automatically translating for Spanish, Deutsch,..
I'm not sure I can translate this Placeholder, can Someone have any idea about this issue.?
I tried to use the custom text in the Placeholder textbox, but it's not translated for any languages.
Also, we are using the organic Optimizely Selection. (No customization)
Thank you,
Hari
