Is there an option somewhere to use Japanese for the "prompt" that comes with fill-in-the-blank questions?

I’m referring to the prompt that is set in the blank where our answer would go, like below. Apologies if this was answered already, I couldn’t find any existing questions when searching around.

I feel like in some cases it’s too leading for me and I end up relying on it unintentionally, and form a connection between the English prompt and the answer rather than the sentence itself and the answer. If I could set it to Japanese, if I’m relying on it I’m at least solidifying some other aspect of Japanese in my brain lol. (Edit: In case someone asks, the chosen example is not one that I feel this happens with for me, it is just an example. For one that I do, “Continuous” is uncommon enough for me to know pretty quickly what the related grammar is at a glance)

I don’t feel comfortable outright hiding it because there are some sentences that may not have sufficient context for me to discern the answer otherwise.

I think you are talking about what we refer to as the “tense hint” (although it often will have information besides tense). These are not available in Japanese, although I believe this is an idea that has been brought up before.

I believe it is also not actually possible to choose to hide these in any settings combination as they give you information about the required answer which can’t be worked out otherwise but is needed to get the answer.

If there are any cases that feel bad for you as a user then please feel free to report them via feedback and we will discuss this a little more internally!
