Current JSON for the first question:

"type": "panel",
     "name": "nps-panel",
     "elements": [
      {
       "type": "rating",
       "name": "nps-score",
       "title": {
        "default": "On a scale from 0 to 10 how likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?",
        "fr": "Sur une échelle de 0 à 10, quelle est la probabilité que vous recommandiez notre produit à un ami ou à un collègue?"
       },
       "rateMax": 10,
       "minRateDescription": {
        "default": "Very unlikely",
        "fr": "Très improbable"
       },
       "maxRateDescription": {
        "default": "Very likely",
        "fr": "Très probable"
       }
      },

Go back to the editor, replace "On a scale from 0 to 10 how likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?" with "Sur une échelle de 0 à 10, quelle est la probabilité que vous recommandiez notre produit à un ami ou à un collègue?", click back to the JSON viewer, it now says

 {
       "type": "rating",
       "name": "nps-score",
       "title": "Sur une échelle de 0 à 10, quelle est la probabilité que vous recommandiez notre produit à un ami ou à un collègue?",
       "rateMax": 10,
       "minRateDescription": {
        "default": "Very unlikely",
        "fr": "Très improbable"
       },

where it should say

 {
       "type": "rating",
       "name": "nps-score",
        "title": {
            "default": "Sur une échelle de 0 à 10, quelle est la probabilité que vous recommandiez notre produit à un ami ou à un collègue?",
            "fr": "Sur une échelle de 0 à 10, quelle est la probabilité que vous recommandiez notre produit à un ami ou à un collègue?"
           },
       "rateMax": 10,
       "minRateDescription": {
        "default": "Very unlikely",
        "fr": "Très improbable"
       },

Hello @JosephBrooksbank,
Please accept my apoligies for the delayed reply. I tested your sample, but didn't reproduce the issue: title transations for the default and Fr locales remain the same:

The updated example is available at https://codesandbox.io/s/priceless-bassi-q4j99o?file=/src/survey.ts.

Please let me know if I missed anything important.

How did you accomplish that? If I open your example and set the title of the question in the designer again, the behavior I'm describing happens. Here is a gif of the process.
