I’m looking for a way to translate validation messages used in sign up forms.

The Language of the list is set to Polish but despite that the validation messages, like: “This field is required” or “Please enter a valid email address” are presented in English and I’m unable to locate settings to either set them to Polish or translate.

Please kindly advise.

Hello @Iztok,

Those fields you are highlighting with the message of “This field is required” is actually hard coded into all Klaviyo signup forms as English and is currently not adjustable to displayed in a different language.

That said, I know that @julie.accardo has submitted a feature request to the Klaviyo Product Team to consider as a future iteration to allow these error messages to be translated. Julie has also brought up a great work around of using custom/legacy forms built on HTML to counteract this in the Community post below:

Additional resources that may be helpful in building out your own custom signup form would be the following articles:

Hope this helps!

i fixed this only by css. I looked for the specific elements where the validation message is displayed, then set the font-size to zero and add a pseudo-html-element with my translation - in this case german. This will not work in a multi-language scenario. Hope this helps:

#klaviyo_ariaid_3, #klaviyo_ariaid_4, #klaviyo_ariaid_5  {
  font-size: 0px !important;
}
#klaviyo_ariaid_3:after, #klaviyo_ariaid_4:after, #klaviyo_ariaid_5:after {
  content: 'Pflichtfeld';
  font-size: 12px;
}
