Hi, are there any ways to translate the placeholders on username and password? I'm currently using a self-asserted page, sadly there are no username and password on the localization string ids provided on the documentation. I am currently using custom policies. Are there any workaround on this?

Hi @Marvin Dacuag , if the language is unsupported you can manually customize the string translations here. Please let me know if this doesn't work for your scenario and I can assist you further.
If this answer helped please mark it as "Verified" so other users may reference it.
Thank you,

Also @Marvin Dacuag , I saw you replied to me in your other post where I posted this link. Did you get it working correctly? Let me know if this method doesn't work and I can look into it more for you.
Best,
James
I think the link you gave me again is for user flows not custom policies. Currently im using custom policies. Also some users encountered also this problem.

Hi @Marvin Dacuag , thank you for getting back to me. I'm going to escalate this issue and your other post to get you some answers. Ill let you know when I hear back.
Edit: I saw you solved your other question! Did that help at all with this?
Best,

@James Hamil This is a new issue tho :( can't find another way for translating the placeholder (Username & Password)
Hi @Marvin Dacuag , It's part of the displayName localization of the claim (Localization string IDs - Azure Active Directory B2C | Microsoft Learn)
XML example:
<LocalizedString ElementType="ClaimType" ElementId="displayName" StringId="DisplayName">Display Name</LocalizedString> <LocalizedString ElementType="ClaimType" ElementId="displayName" StringId="UserHelpText">Your display name.</LocalizedString>
I hope this helps!
Best,
James
