Restore Input-IDs on the website
Hello,
A while ago I created a Chrome extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/duolibro/ogianofickehjjgaopiohbgjhmhbdafn?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog) that automatically changes the keyboard input to another script if needed. (e.g. Cyrillian for Russian, Hebrew for Hebrew). It currently has around 2000 weekly users.
A few weeks ago some things in the source code of Duolingo changed, so now the extension doesn't work anymore. A lot of people contacted me via email and asked me to fix it.
However, I'm having a hard time getting the extension to recognize when to use the different script now, because the inputs don't have unique IDs (#word-input for single word answers, #text-input for longer answers) anymore, and also the single word answers don't have the placeholder "Type in Russian/Hebrew/Klingon" anymore. The placeholder was needed to check if the input non-English and the alternative script is needed.
Would it be possible to restore the old IDs, or at least add the missing placeholder text? If you're feeling particularly nice today you could even add a field like data-input="foreign" to the inputs to make it even easier for developers to build extensions.
I hope you'll find the time to consider this, as the users of Duolibro are waiting for a fix for the extension.
Thank you

I had been using my phone app for a few months and recently returned to my desktop. I was frustrated to find that the Duolibro extension no longer worked. It is really a pain to switch between the Hebrew and English keyboards. The app is just multiple choice, but the desktop allows me to practice typing and spelling. Please change the code and bring this back!!!
