Right now the Text tool will always insert a "Lorem" place holder text when creating a new text object. However, This is rather confusing for non-western language speakers unless they are familiar with the topic, which in my observation is quite unlikely. Is it possible for each language to have a translatable version of the Lorem text? Thank you!
"This is some example text to let you know what it looks like" (maybe a shorter sentence instead) would be a generally useful thing to have instead of the 'Lorem' text.
Well, the Lorem text actually is gibberish, it's not translatable into any language. We could replace it with something like "Your text here"?

Yeah, I think that'd be a good idea. Not even all English speaker knows about Lorem's usage is to stripe off the meanings so as to focus on the visuals alone. :P
Basically all the time I use the text tool I'm annoyed at the length of the Lorem text, so "your text here" or "sample text" or something like that would be much better in my opinion. (But for me a shorter Lorem would work, too, but the translation part is a valid point as well so I agree with the report).

Thank you Boud!
Although it's listed as a fixed bug in 4.3.0 beta 2's news, Krita is still displaying Lorem text in the new version. Am I doing it wrong or can you check it out? Thanks! krita-4.3.0-beta2-x86_64.appimage Manjaro KDE 20.0.1
Reopening the bug because of the request from Tyson
