how to translate the error code from Firebase Authentication?

Question

When I'm registering an account using Firebase sometimes error happens, I want to translate some of the error to another language. in IOS I can do something like this

Auth.auth().createUser(withEmail: emailTextField.text!, password: passwordTextField.text!) { (user, error) in


            if let error = error {

                if let errorCode = AuthErrorCode(rawValue: error._code) {

                    SVProgressHUD.dismiss()

                    switch errorCode {
                    case .networkError : self.showAlert(alertTitle: "Mohon Maaf", alertMessage: "Koneksi Internet bermasalah", actionTitle: "Kembali")
                    case .emailAlreadyInUse : self.showAlert(alertTitle: "Mohon Maaf", alertMessage: "Email yang anda masukan sudah pernah digunakan, silahkan gunakan email yang lain", actionTitle: "Kembali")
                    case .weakPassword : self.showAlert(alertTitle: "Mohon Maaf", alertMessage: "Password minimal harus memiliki 6 huruf", actionTitle: "Kembali")
                    case .invalidEmail : self.showAlert(alertTitle: "Mohon Maaf", alertMessage: "Format email yang anda masukan tidak valid, mohon diperiksa kembali.", actionTitle: "Kembali")
                    default : self.showAlert(alertTitle: "Sorry", alertMessage: "\(error.localizedDescription)", actionTitle: "Back")
                    }

                }

            }
        }

I am trying to switch the error from English to another language. I have tried but I can't find a way in Android. here is the code I use when I'm creating a user using email and password:

    FirebaseAuth.getInstance().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email,password)
        .addOnCompleteListener { result ->

       }.addOnFailureListener { exception ->

          // want to translate the error in here

       }

java is ok.

The following line of code:

exception.getMessage();

Gets the exception message in english while the following line of code:

exception.getLocalizedMessage();

Gets a localized message. According to the official documentation regarding Throwable's getLocalizedMessage() method:

Creates a localized description of this throwable. Subclasses may override this method in order to produce a locale-specific message. For subclasses that do not override this method, the default implementation returns the same result as getMessage().

In that case, you should create your custom Exception class and create your custom exception messages. – Alex Mamo Mar 09 '19 at 10:28

In my opinion

FirebaseAuth.getInstance().createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email,password)
    .addOnCompleteListener { result ->
      if(result.isSuccessful){
              //Do something here
      }
   }.addOnFailureListener { exception ->

      val errorCode = (e as FirebaseAuthException?)!!.errorCode
      when(errorCode){
          "ERROR_WEAK_PASSWORD" -> {
              //Do something here
          }
          else -> {
              //Do something here
          }
      }

}
