Hello..
There are probably many ways to tackle this. Not sure the best.
You could dynamically create the options within the Select, giving you full control of the text of the ‘Select’ option. Just give it an empty or NULL value, so the validator won’t look at it as an *actual* choice.
JQuery lets you change values/labels on-the-fly as well.
Translation may be an approach.
Let me know how you tackle it!
