The body of an option tag does not get translated in the latest release

[robinbraibant]

I have the following code :

<select name="merge_fields[MMERGE3]" id="country" class="form__select" required>
   <option value=''>{{ "Choose country"|t }}</option>
   {% for country in countries %}
       <option value="{{ country.value }}">{{ attribute(country, craft.app.locale.id) }}</option>
   {% endfor %}
</select>

The text "Choose country" does not end up in my translate fields in the Craft backend
