Description

An accessibility expert (see internal ticket for more details) mentioned it is considered best practice for government forms to have (required) instead of *? e.g.:

Your message (required)
instead of: Your message*

Would it be possible to add the option to switch the asterisks to the word? The word “required” would need to be edited in order for us to translate it.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the form-field implementation that renders the required-field asterisk, then inspect its existing configuration and translation patterns. Done means an option can replace the asterisk with editable, translatable “required” text while preserving the current behavior by default.
