Passwordless auth email language with x-request-language / request_language

Help
1

Hello,

Ahen calling the /passwordless/start authentication endpoint (from some server code) I am setting the x-request-language header to specify a language and then I am testing in the email template on the request_language variable to adapt the content.

I do this according to this documentation: Passwordless Authentication with Email

This is not working, and in fact, I might be wrong but I believe this used to work and stopped working (cannot be sure when exactly, but no later than 2-3 months ago). I only noticed this regression in our app recently where users no longer receive their email in the correct language.

I have double-checked that the header is sent correctly, and tried to display the request_language value in the email body, and it is always empty.

So, is this feature actually working or is there a known issue? If there is an issue, any idea how I could have 2 different passwordless auth emails for 2 different languages (can’t see another way to do this right now)?

Thanks!

Hello,
any progress on this issue? Or suggestion of a workaround?
This seems quite blocking for all users with multi-language platforms.
Thanks
