Form Render - No Text Field Labels / Broken when translating messages

See original GitHub issue

When rendering the form the text field labels are being used as placeholders. I noticed that this problem was due to the translated subtype messages. Instead of text, password, email, color it displays Option 0, Option 1 … You should update your Docs (and be more careful with it). For now I’ll just comment out the subtype messages.

Notice the fields added clicking repeatedly (mentioned in another issue) formbuilder formbuilder2 formbuilder3

Here is the json that generates the javascript object I’m using in messages option (it is a copy of the default options in the docs): (I’m using https://github.com/i18next/i18next localization)

This is resolved in current version. As a side note, 2.x now also has built-in i18n allowing you to load languages files directly or in conjunction with i18next.js
