Custom Translations

​

Overview

OwnID allows clients to customize the translations used in their front-end implementations. This can be done by passing a JSON object with specific keywords and their corresponding values for each locale. This flexibility makes it easier to fine-tune user interfaces according to different language needs.

​

Setting Up Custom Translations

To override specific labels for a given locale, use the setTranslations method after initializing OwnID. Here’s a basic example:

ownid('setTranslations', 
    {
        "en": {
            "account-recover": {
                "title": "Speed up your sign-in",
                "description": "Would you like sign-in without a password?",
                "cta": "Use Face ID",
                "skip": "I prefer to set a password",
                "md": {
                    "cta": "Continue"
                }
            }
        },
        "fr": {
            //replace this with the translations for french language
        }
    }
);

Please note:

• You can override translations for as many or as few labels as necessary.
• This code should be executed after initializing OwnID.
