Providing the user’s preferred language instructions on the placeholder values of the checkout fields is one valuable customization. The code changes the default English placeholders for billing and shipping fields to French placeholders to make the checkout process more user-friendly for French-speaking users.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'ts_override_billing_checkout_fields', 20, 1 );
function ts_override_billing_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
$fields['billing']['billing_first_name']['placeholder'] = 'Prénom';
$fields['billing']['billing_last_name']['placeholder'] = 'Nom';
$fields['billing']['billing_company']['placeholder'] = 'Nom de la société (optionnel)';
$fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['placeholder'] = 'Code postal';
$fields['billing']['billing_phone']['placeholder'] = 'Téléphone';
$fields['billing']['billing_city']['placeholder'] = 'Ville';
$fields['shipping']['shipping_first_name']['placeholder'] = 'Prénom';
$fields['shipping']['shipping_last_name']['placeholder'] = 'Nom';
$fields['shipping']['shipping_company']['placeholder'] = 'Nom de la société (optionnel)';
$fields['shipping']['shipping_postcode']['placeholder'] = 'Code postal';
$fields['shipping']['shipping_phone']['placeholder'] = 'Téléphone';
$fields['shipping']['shipping_city']['placeholder'] = 'Ville';
