Unable to translate any text with element type "errorMessage" in Azure B2C

Hi! While working on my Signup and Signin page with azure B2C, I noticed some texts weren't being translated to the language that I customized so I proceeded to translate them manually. Most of them were translated succesfully except for the error messages.

No matter what I try, only the texts with type element "errorMessage" are the ones who don't get translated and I don't really know why.

This is my code to translate the texts manually:

And as you can see, only the error messages aren't being translated, the other texts that I translated manually are just working fine:

Anyone knows why this is happening? Thanks!

    Are you able to share your login-NonInteractive technical profile?

    There appears to be an issue when the policy is configured with ROPC flow. There is an open ticket regarding this issue with the product team and several ongoing threads related to this.

    There are also some workarounds here and here that involve removing the "Key : grant_type = password" from the technical profile.

    Is your multifactor page layout version updated to the latest version? In some cases updating the version resolves the issue. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/page-layout

    It doesn't look like you included the full code snippet but make sure you include the end of the "</Localization>" element and ensure that your XML matches the documentation fully:
