Lokalise Connector
Descope's Lokalise connector powers automatic localization within your authentication flow, allowing for the adaptation of language in your product to users' specific country or region.
Note
When localization is performed, Descope will take the primary attribute and drop the region-specific part. For example, a user in the es-MX locale will only load es, and Descope will translate for the user based on this locale.

Testing & Customization
If you'd like to test your translation, you can either simply change the language in your browser settings or configure the locale within the Descope component.
This is an example of an updated Descope flow component to include locale:
You can learn more in the Web Component SDK README.
All supported locales are accessible in your dashboard, specifically within each flow's settings where localization was enabled earlier.
