How to translate all messages in the Auth0 Wordpress plugin?

Question

I found how to translate most of the Lock 10 widget by setting the 'Extra settings' under 'Advanced' tab to e.g. the following:

{"language":"nl"}

That works fine for most of the Lock widget, but not for everything, e.g.

• "Login with WordPress username"
• "There was a problem with your log in"

and probably some more.

Is there some other setting I would need to change?

Answer 1

The text "Login with WordPress username" belongs to the Auth0 Wordpress plugin itself and not the Auth0 Lock widget so that's why you won't see any changes despite changing the Lock language setting; the plugin does not currently support I18N.

If you really need to display that option you can submit an improvement request to support I18N on the plugin itself; you can use the GitHub repository (https://github.com/auth0/wp-auth0) to submit the issue. Additionally, if you don't really require that option to be enabled you can hide the text by disabling the option WordPress login enabled in the plugin settings.

Regarding the other piece of text you mentioned I wasn't able to track the source of it, but if it comes from Lock you should also try to use the languageDictionary; see the following links for additional information on this:

• Lock Customization - languageDisctionary
• Lock Customization - Error Messages

Answer 2

plugins usually come with .po files that contain the plugin strings in the default language, one way to translate the default messages a plugin will show is using Locotranslate

install locotranslate plugin then go to locotranslate > plugins> choose your plugin> choose a language you want to translate to
