<p dir="auto">We need to be very careful here that we aren't creating more problems than we are fixing. For example, there is a proposal in a comment here to remove <code class="notranslate">dir="auto"</code> from input fields, as an attempt to fix the placeholder problem, but we also have <a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/3431" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/3431/hovercard">an open issue to add <code class="notranslate">dir="auto"</code> to all input fields</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">I find this topic is usually more complex than it first looks, and I don't want to see us rush into trying to solve one thing while accidentally making lots of other things worse.</p>
