Hello,

Thank you for the 3.0.0-rc1 release and for adding back-office translation support. The feature works well and is very much appreciated.

However, I noticed that all translatable strings in the back office are implemented as textfield elements. By default, this field type has a maximum length of 128 characters when the #maxlength property is not explicitly overridden, which is the case here.

In some situations, it can be necessary to enter longer texts, especially for description fields (which is my case).

To address this, a few options could be considered:

  1. Increase the maxlength for all fields
  2. Increase the maxlength for description fields only
  3. Use textarea for all fields
  4. Use textarea for description fields only
  5. Another approach

I am not sure which solution you would prefer to implement.
In the meantime, I am going to open a merge request based on option 4.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
