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.

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;
}

Hey
Our product team is aware of this Product enhancement to have the ability to translate those error messages within signup forms. At present those error messages are hard coded to display in english and is not adjustable.
The current work around and best answer to allow the validation messages to be translated would be to custom code and use your own custom signup form. You can find resources we offer on how to build your own custom signup forms using HTML/CSS from the Help Center articles below. Because using a custom built signup form allows for more customizations that is dictated by how the form is built, it offers more flexibility in its behavior such as having those error/validation messages appear in a different language.
If we receive any updates from our Product Team regarding the enhancement of this feature, we’ll be sure to update this thread with the news!
Happy holidays!

Hi Team-Klaviyo!
Could you solve the problem to translate validation messages used in sign up forms?
Please tell me yes, I guess it wouldn’t be that hard to add this to the settings, right.

Hi, David!
Thank you for reply.
I have decided to give myself a one more try with Klaviyo.
Hope the things will work out well.
I found errors in Korean language translation on this page.
Would it be possible to change it from the backend, if I provide the correct version of the text?
Thank you.

Hi, David, many thanks for this.
Should I follow the same procedure fixing the problem below too? Encircled are translated values by default for I can’t seem to find an editor.
Thanks again

Hello!
This is just insane. I am sorry for the language, but I am really frustrated after I realized that those values cannot be edited. English language is not the only language used in the world, but the Klaviyo tech guys seems don’t to be aware of that. Going to look out for another software with more editable language translation settings.

Waiting to Portuguese/Brazilian translation.

Hey
Thanks for providing that screenshot! Since the email/template you are referencing is the Email Confirmation, also known as the double opt-in confirmation email, the language for this email would be controlled by the list setting that this email is linked to. You can update your list’s language setting my navigating to the list and going into Settings near the top as detailed in the How to Customize Content Based on Language article.
Also, keep in mind that since the double opt-in email confirmation email pertains to one’s consent, certain elements in that email cannot be edited as I’ve elaborated on in the following Community Post:

Hello
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

Hello, I am quite late to the discussion, but I have a similar problem. I would like to translate This field is required to something in my language: Slovenian.
I switched the language to Slovenian. This is an embedeed signup form.
If Klaviyo need a Slovenian value I will gladly provide one :).
I encountered the same problem in Abandoned cart flow, where I can’t find a way to translate values like quantity and Cost.
I hope there is a way to solve this.
Best regards,

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing that screenshot. I understand your question now.
Unfortunately, that label field only allows text, not HTML. However, I am happy to pass this feedback along to our product team as well.
Best,
Caroline
