Hi @vlatko.tasevski

Welcome back to the Auth0 Community!

You noticed that two buttons in the identifier-first login flow are not translated in Auth0's Universal Login built-in localization: "Email me a Code" and "Send me a message." You want to know if there is a plan to include these translations, or if there are translation keys available for them.

These buttons appear to be missing from Auth0's built-in localization coverage for the identifier-first login flow. There is no documented translation key for "Email me a Code" or "Send me a message" in the current Auth0 documentation or dashboard. This appears to be a gap in the localization support for passwordless authentication methods in the identifier-first flow.

[Root Cause]

Auth0 provides built-in translations for core login and MFA screens. However, because Passwordless configurations span several specialized prompt boundaries, some buttons default to their fallback English strings when a specific locale’s customization has not been fully populated

[Solution]

You can update these keys using either of the following methods:

Option A: Via the Auth0 Dashboard (No Code)

  1. Go to your Auth0 Dashboard.

  2. Navigate to Branding > Universal Login > Advanced Options, and select Custom Text.

  3. From the Prompt dropdown menu, select Login (Passwordless) .

  4. Choose the language you want to translate.

  5. Locate the Email Action Text and SMS Action Text fields (or search for the key values in the JSON custom text view).

  6. Enter your translations and click Save Changes.

Option B: Via the Management API

To apply translations programmatically or across multiple environments, call the Set Custom Text for a Specific Prompt endpoint:

  • Endpoint: PUT /api/v2/prompts/login-passwordless/custom-text/YOUR_LOCALE (e.g., /custom-text/es for Spanish)

    {
  "login-passwordless": {
    "emailActionText": "Enviarme un código",
    "smsActionText": "Enviarme un mensaje"
  }
}

Once applied, Universal Login will serve these customized strings to matches on the user’s browser language header or your explicit ui_locales parameters

Kind Regards,
Nik
