Yes, you can change the user-facing error messages in Ory Elements by providing custom translations. Ory Elements supports internationalization (i18n), allowing you to define your own translations for all UI messages, including error messages. To do this, you create a translations file with your custom messages and pass it to the OryProvider using the customTranslations prop, or use react-intl’s IntlProvider to wrap your application and provide your translations. The keys in your translations should match those used in Ory Elements components. You can find the full list of original message keys in the Ory Elements GitHub repository. Here’s an example of how to provide custom translations:
Copy code
typescript // translations.ts export const messages: Record<string, Record<string, string>> = {   en: {     "login.title": "Login",     "error.some_error": "Your custom error message here",     // ...other messages   },   de: {     "login.title": "Anmeldung",     "error.some_error": "Ihre benutzerdefinierte Fehlermeldung hier",     // ...other messages   }, }  // In your app import { OryProvider } from "@ory/elements-react" import { messages } from "./translations"  <OryProvider customTranslations={messages}>   {/* your app */} </OryProvider>
Alternatively, you can use react-intl’s IntlProvider:
Copy code
typescript import { IntlProvider } from "react-intl" import { messages } from "./translations"  <IntlProvider locale="en" messages={messages.en}>   {/* your app */} </IntlProvider>
This approach allows you to fully customize the text of user-facing error messages and other UI strings in Ory Elements components. For more details and examples, see the official documentation on [using custom translations](https://www.ory.sh/docs/elements/guides/internationalization#using-custom-translations) and [internationalization](https://www.ory.sh/docs/elements/guides/internationalization) in Ory Elements.<|source|>
