I have a multilingual site and am trying to translate a custom-configured Count down message (configured in the form display for the field). I can add translations for each language in the User Interface Translation section but when I view the form field in each language, all other components have been translated except for the Count down message.

The problem occurs with a custom-configured countdown message, configured in the form display settings for the field. The attached patch makes it possible to use interface translation to translate a custom configured message. Alternatively, configuration translation will also work (without a patch), but interface translation is easier.

This is not the right approach, we should leverage config translation for those things.

Patch attached allows for the labels to be translated through configuration translation. Note that there currently is not yet an interface to translate widget configuration, so you will either need to apply the patch in #2546212: Entity view/form mode formatter/widget settings have no translation UI, or manually create and import the configuration files containing the translations.

Yeah, it is committed a year back, so it should appear in recent release.

This patch is not working with me, but I used this one from this issue and it works fine.
