Is there any way to return errors based on user’s regional language in rules? e,g if user is in USA then it returns error message in English but if user is in Sweden then it returns error in Swedish?

Hey @jah!

So there are actually a few approaches to do that. The one I suggest is simply customizing your Lock error messages using language files that we provide. Here’s more on that:

> **[Lock Internationalization](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/internationalization-and-localization/lock-internationalization)**
>
> Lock v11 supports multiple languages, and allows for the addition of other custom language files, as well as for customizing the values of specific pieces of text that are displayed in the Lock widget.

> **[Customize Lock Error Messages](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/customize-lock-error-messages)**
>
> Customizing error messages with Lock v11

> **[lock/src/i18n at master · auth0/lock](https://github.com/auth0/lock/tree/master/src/i18n)**
>
> master/src/i18n

The other one is as you said rules. You can use the context object properties to achieve that but this one will actually require more work.

Let me know if that helps!
