Question

Hello again I would like to translate the emails that supertokens sends to our customers I understand that I can change the content as described here https supertokens com docs emailpassword email delivery smtp change email content But how do I know into which language I have to translate I would be happy to get the language that users saw as they register in the browser

The input to `getContent` contains a user and a userContext Can I use those How can I modify them at the registration screen

Hi

porcellus · Answer

This could be a bit more involved we don t save the browser language information about the user modifying the `userContext` on the frontend will not affect the backend

porcellus · Answer

you can use the user object to access your own database where you could save the language the user is using during signup

porcellus · Answer

Using the `preAPIHook` on the frontend you can add this information into the sign up request

romixch · Answer

Ok The preAPIHook ist what I am looking at right now So seams to be a good place

porcellus · Answer

Then on the backend you can override the sign up API to get this information from the request and save it

romixch · Answer

So I could for example set an additional header at the proAPIHook with the language

romixch · Answer

Can I save it to the users metadata and get that at the email composition hook

porcellus · Answer

that works

romixch · Answer

Nice I will try it this way

romixch · Answer

Although I could imagine a simpler interface for translation

romixch · Answer

Sorry to bother you again So I ve got the header set now in the preAPIHook from EmailPasswordReact init I see it traveling over the wire when sending a POST to signup But how can I see it at the other end I don t see where I can access request headers

porcellus · Answer

oh sorry for the late answer

porcellus · Answer

you can override the sign up API

porcellus · Answer

https supertokens com docs passwordless advanced customizations apis override usage like here

porcellus · Answer

Yeah we do not really save information like this about the user by default The flow of adding extra info like this could be simpler that s for sure

romixch · Answer

So that worked well I am getting now used to the concepts too I think I have now a good solution for Sign up verify reset password All translated I still think supertokens was the right choice
