Hello, I have a string in English with placeholders but in the target language those placeholders should not follow the same order as in English. How can I easily move the placeholders?

Hi @Sandy,  
You can easily move the placeholders in the translation text - you just need to click on the placeholders to copy them over to the target text. [Here’s](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UvmuzrCzbjN0gPsOIOZOXzoc2v1Oi4ks/view?usp=sharing) how it works.
