The default contact form template has been modified for the first time in 8 years. The major change is the addition of label elements.
Using a label element to label a form control is recommended in accessibility guidelines. In earlier versions, the default template didn’t use label elements, so you had to add them on your own if you wanted to make your form accessible.
In the early versions released before 2008, label elements were used in their default template, but they were abandoned for a reason.

If you are using Contact Form 7 in those languages, after updating the plugin, don’t forget to go to the WordPress Updates page (Dashboard > Updates) and update translations. Enjoy Contact Form 7 in your language.
