@WMDE-leszek I guess Kara is away right now. Can you approve on her behalf?

Per feedback from @Arian_Bozorg, the plan is to implement the specific fix for the reported issue now, and Arian will continue to research how the mul feature is supposed to be implemented for Termbox.

Okay. I'm going to suggest that this is a "proper solution" for now - it works, and it's not about to be sunset. I heard from @WMDE-leszek that we use Mailgun to send mails from WikibaseCloud. That might be something to consider if we run into reliability / sustainability issues with Google again. But for now, if it ain't broke, let's not fix it any further.

Had a quick look at this this morning. The "bug" here appears to be that mul has never been implemented for the mobile termbox. There is no support for mul labels, descriptions or aliases either in view or in edit mode. It feels like the scope for this is bigger than the ticket description - addressing only the placeholder issue won't result in a good user experience. Beyond that, saying "should appear in grey" as the desired behaviour is also a long way from a UX specification. Do we have designs for how the mul feature is supposed to work on mobile?

Thanks for the feedback @hashar . I guess that raises some additional questions / todos for us:

Linking T368193 here since this change would bring us into line with the behaviour in Mediawiki, against which this bug / feature request ticket already exists.
