Hi everyone,
Has anyone successfully used the accept-language header on Ory Client SDK? We are adding the language on the custom headers field ("Accept-Language") on the SDK. All the messages for native flows still return in english. Or do you know of another way to debug this?

Hi <@U047VV1UHND>

The language support isn't within Kratos. It's within the Account Experience.

When you set the `Accept-Language` header on a request to the Account Experience, it will set the language for the rest of the flow. The text is then altered inside the Ory Elements library.

You can also add your own translation support within your UI based on what is done inside Ory Elements.

We use react-intl here

*You don't need Ory Elements to have your own translations. But you can reuse what Ory Elements has.
