React-stripe-elements: Feature request : Get CardElement in other languages

[grean]

Have you plan to do this soon ?
I'd love to have the CardElement in french :) because all my site is in french and it's surprising to see "card number" when customer will pay...
I didn't saw any language options in the doc.

Ok, i saw that in firefox the text is in french but in chrome and edge it's in english..
Bug ?

Hey @grean!

You can set the desired locale when creating Elements. See the locale option here: https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js/reference#elements-create. In this case you can set it to fr.

In the future, please reach out to our helpful support team (https://stripe.com/contact) for integration questions. This repo is for bugs in react-stripe-elements specifically.

As for the other browsers, Elements automatically infers the locale from the browser settings. It’s possible your Chrome locale is set to English.

Ok i thought that all the docs was in github but in a comment inside a code exemple there is a link to the stripe doc.
Thanks for the reply :)

Ah sorry about that! The locale option is frequently used, and is indeed mentioned in the README for this repo (https://github.com/stripe/react-stripe-elements#props-shape-1). Please let us know if there are ways we can improve the documentation in the future!

Hi there,

Could you please advise on how to change placeholder text for languages that are not supported? We offer our site in a number of languages, including TR, ID, KO, VI that are all missing from your supported languages list.

We don't want to show Card number placeholder in English for these customers but want to pass our own translations - can't find this in your documentation. Could you please help?

Thanks
