Feature: Consistent localization behavior for all email templates in the Universal Login experience.

Description:
Currently, email templates behave inconsistently when handling localization and user metadata:

  • Email OTP Template: The app_metadata of the user is not accessible, and the request_language parameter reflects the browser’s accept_language header.
  • Reset Password Template: The app_metadata is accessible, and the request_language reflects the actual language Auth0 used to render the login page.
  • Account Blocked Email: The app_metadata is accessible, but the request_language parameter is empty.

The inconsistency in how these templates handle request_language and user metadata complicates delivering a uniform experience across different emails. A more consistent approach, where request_language reflects the rendered language in all templates and app_metadata is accessible, would streamline localization.

Proposed solution:

  • Standardize request_language to reflect the rendered language in all templates.
  • Introduce a separate parameter for the accept_language header.
  • Ensure app_metadata is accessible in all templates.

Use-case:
We are customising and localising email OTP, password reset and account blocked emails using the new universal login experience in login page. The localisation is a bit different for all the mentioned templates.

Adding to the list. Currently only the password reset email supports the case when ui_locales is passed to the login page as the request_language param is set to the language rendered at the login page.
