OctoberCMS translate YAML default texts

Question

As an example I have a translatable model:

class Settings extends Model {
    public $implement = [
        'System.Behaviors.SettingsModel',
        'RainLab.Translate.Behaviors.TranslatableModel'
    ];

    public $settingsCode = 'zollerboy_customtheme_settings';
    public $settingsFields = 'fields.yaml';

    public $translatable = [
        'site_name',
        //I have a lot more here
    ];
}

My fields.yaml looks like this:

tabs:
    fields:
        site_name:
            tab: Info
            label: Website Name
            type: text

        # And so on ...

Is it possible, that I give the field site_name a default value for each language?

I tried it with

default: name.plugin::lang.settings.default.site_name

but that seems to just work with labels but not with default values.

Yes, the default option does not work with translations, but you can display this field through of the widget form, getting the default value in the visualization method.

public function render() {
    $value= Lang::get('name.plugin::lang.settings.default.site_name');
    return $this->makePartial('site_name', ['value' => $value, 'name' => 
    'site_name']);
}

Register form widgets by overriding the registerFormWidgets method inside the Plugin registration class.

public function registerFormWidgets() {
    return [
          'Name\Plugin\FormWidgets\SiteName' => 'site_name'

    ];
}

Example fields.yaml:

tabs:
fields:
    site_name:
        tab: Info
        label: Website Name
        type: site_name

    # And so on ...
