Yes, you can edit the form validation messages in Webflow and translate them to different languages. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Select the form element: Start by selecting the form element on your Webflow project that you want to edit the validation message for.

  2. Open the Form Settings panel: Once the form element is selected, open the Form Settings panel on the right-hand side of the designer.

  3. Edit the validation messages: In the Form Settings panel, scroll down until you find the "Validation Messages" section. Here, you'll see a list of default validation messages for different types of form fields such as text fields, email fields, etc.

  4. Customize the messages: To edit a specific validation message, click on the field you want to edit and type in your custom message. You can also choose to hide a validation message by leaving it blank.
