The editor placeholder (e.g. "Start typing...") is now re-translated when the interface language changes, without a page reload. This was fixed in #5975 and the behaviour is kept in the current i18n placeholder extension (#10054). This looks resolved, so the issue could be closed.

@AbigailDawson — based on the check described above, this looks resolved in the current code. Could you please close this issue if you agree? If you think it is not fixed yet, please describe what still goes wrong (steps, expected vs. actual behaviour), so it can be looked at again.
