Localization of Default Value in Active Directory B2C Custom Policies

Question

Localization of Default Value in Active Directory B2C Custom Policies

Christopher Norris 6

Hello,

Please forgive me for not using [azure-ad-b2c] because the tag is no longer available. Even though the documentation on [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/developer-support-help-options#post-a-question-to-microsoft-qa says to use it.

I am using Azure AD B2C Custom Policies and using a Paragraph Claim Type. We set the value by using the Default Value attribute for the input claim like shown:

<InputClaims>
     <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="userMsg" DefaultValue="Enter your name. Accounts with non-valid names may     be locked." />
</InputClaims>

The problem I am running into is that I am unable to find out how to set the DefaultValue based on the language. For example, if ui_locales = de (German) the DefaultValue will still be in English. I have reviewed the documentation for localization and not able to find a solution.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi @Christopher Norris ,

Thanks for reaching out.

Due to recent change in the Q&A, there is some retagging recently reintroduced on which we are still working and will update the same in the documentation soon.

To localize the claim, element type will be claimType and the possible values are: displayName, AdminHelpText or PatternHelpText to set the value to the claim. For your scenario, you can localize the claim as mentioned below:

<LocalizedResources Id="api.localaccountsignup.de">
<LocalizedStrings>
    <LocalizedString ElementType="ClaimType" ElementId="userMsg" StringId="DisplayName">
Gib deinen Namen ein. Konten mit ungültigen Namen können gesperrt werden.</LocalizedString>    
</LocalizedStrings>

Hope this will help.

Thanks,

Shweta

Hi Shweta, thank you for your suggestion but I am afraid that did not resolve what I was looking for. That only translated the display name and not the actual values of the paragraph that I was looking for. For example:

As you can see, the paragraph value is still in English whereas the DisplayName is in Czech. I feel that I will need to create an input Claims Transformation for this unless there is something else.

Hi @Christopher Norris,

Thanks for the update. The above solution won't work for paragraph claim type.

However, you can use the GetMappedValueFromLocalizedCollection claim transformation as shown below:

 <BuildingBlocks>
    <ClaimsSchema>
      <ClaimType Id="messageCode">
        <DisplayName>messageCode</DisplayName>
        <DataType>string</DataType>
        <UserHelpText>A claim responsible for holding response codes to send to the relying party</UserHelpText>
      </ClaimType>

      <ClaimType Id="messageValue">
        <DisplayName>Message</DisplayName>
		<DataType>string</DataType>
		<UserHelpText>A claim responsible for holding response messages to send to the relying party</UserHelpText>
		<UserInputType>Paragraph</UserInputType>
        <Restriction>
          <Enumeration Text="Message1" Value="" />
          <Enumeration Text="Message2" Value="" />
        </Restriction>		
      </ClaimType>
    </ClaimsSchema>

    <ClaimsTransformations>
	  <ClaimsTransformation Id="SetMessageId" TransformationMethod="CreateStringClaim">
	    <InputParameters>
		  <InputParameter Id="value" DataType="string" Value="Message1" />
		</InputParameters>
		<OutputClaims>
		  <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="messageCode" TransformationClaimType="createdClaim" />
		</OutputClaims>
	   </ClaimsTransformation>	
	   <ClaimsTransformation Id="GetLocalizedMessage" TransformationMethod="GetMappedValueFromLocalizedCollection">
	    <InputClaims>
		  <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="messageCode" TransformationClaimType="mapFromClaim" />
	    </InputClaims>
		<OutputClaims>
		  <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="messageValue" TransformationClaimType="restrictionValueClaim" />
		</OutputClaims>
	  </ClaimsTransformation>
	</ClaimsTransformations>

Thanks,

Shweta
