B2C Custom Policy Translations for Required Fields on SignUp page Not Translatable

Question

Hi Folks,

Using Custom Policy for Signup process. We have translations for 9 languages and several required fields. However the translations are not working for required fields. What I get is "{field-type} is required" (screen shot below).

On this page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/localization-string-ids it indicates that a field is available:

"required_field_descriptive" default is "{0} is required"

I added this (among other items) to the LOCALIZATION.xml file

<LocalizedResources Id="api.localaccountsignup.en">
<LocalizedStrings>
<LocalizedString ElementType="UxElement" StringId="required_field_descriptive">{0} is required!</LocalizedString>

But upon upload I get this error:

Validation failed: 1 validation error(s) found in policy "B2C_1A_TRUSTFRAMEWORKLOCALIZATION" of tenant "myopcoid.onmicrosoft.com".The localized string with ElementType: UxElement and StringId: required_field_descriptive has an invalid StringId

page layout is using version 2.1.19

<ContentDefinition Id="api.localaccountsignup">
				<LoadUri>https://cmsdev.xxx.com/en/azureb2c/sign-up</LoadUri>
				<RecoveryUri>~/common/default_page_error.html</RecoveryUri>
				<DataUri>urn:com:microsoft:aad:b2c:elements:contract:selfasserted:2.1.19</DataUri>
				<Metadata>
					<Item Key="DisplayName">Local account sign up page</Item>
				</Metadata>
			</ContentDefinition>

Hi @Johnson, Mark IT ,

Thanks for reaching out.

I tried to reproduce the scenario and was able to upload the localization xml file successfully.

The content definition you are passing is not correct for "api.localaccountsignup"

It should be as below:

 <ContentDefinition Id="api.localaccountsignup">
				<RecoveryUri>~/common/default_page_error.html</RecoveryUri>
				<DataUri>urn:com:microsoft:aad:b2c:elements:contract:selfasserted:2.1.19</DataUri>
				<Metadata>
					<Item Key="DisplayName">Local account sign up page</Item>
				</Metadata>
         <LocalizedResourcesReferences MergeBehavior="Prepend">
          <LocalizedResourcesReference Language="en" LocalizedResourcesReferenceId="api.localaccountsignup.en" />
          <!-- Add more languages here -->
        </LocalizedResourcesReferences>
			</ContentDefinition>

The content definition contains a LocalizedResourcesReferences element that specifies a list of localized resources to load.

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Shweta
