Localizing claims in custom policy

Question

I have custom claims in my sign-up page register_header and password_header and I want to localize them to Japanese.

Here is my custom policy:

<ClaimType Id="register_heading">
    <DataType>string</DataType>
    <AdminHelpText>A claim responsible for holding response messages to send to the relying party</AdminHelpText>
    <UserHelpText>A claim responsible for holding response messages to send to the relying party</UserHelpText>
    <UserInputType>Paragraph</UserInputType>
</ClaimType>
<ClaimType Id="password_header">
    <DataType>string</DataType>
    <AdminHelpText>A claim responsible for holding response messages to send to the relying party</AdminHelpText>
    <UserHelpText>A claim responsible for holding response messages to send to the relying party</UserHelpText>
    <UserInputType>Paragraph</UserInputType>
</ClaimType>

Localized Resources

<LocalizedResources Id="api.localaccountsignup.ja">
<LocalizedStrings>
    <LocalizedString ElementType="ClaimType" ElementId="register_header" StringId="DisplayName">アカウントを登録</LocalizedString>
    <LocalizedString ElementType="ClaimType" ElementId="password_header" StringId="DisplayName">パスワードを登録</LocalizedString>
</LocalizedStrings>

My problem is the Japanese translation are returned as <label> in the HTML.

But their English counterpart is returned as <p> with the id attribute

I want to use the id but it is only available to the English translation. Is there a way for the custom policy to change the text in <p> to Japanese and keep the id instead of creating a <label> element? If possible I don't want to use Javascript.

• I would suggest you to please try configuring the localization string ids in the custom policy regarding the two custom claims that you want to be translated in Japanese. Since you have already done the same as posted in your localization strings claims, I would suggest you to please modify your custom policy to also include the details below in it: -

       <Localization Enabled="true">
        <SupportedLanguages DefaultLanguage="en" MergeBehavior="ReplaceAll">
            <SupportedLanguage>en</SupportedLanguage>
            <SupportedLanguage>jp</SupportedLanguage>
        </SupportedLanguages>
        <LocalizedResources Id="api.localaccountsignup.en">
            <LocalizedCollections>
                <LocalizedCollection ElementType="ClaimType" ElementId="register_header" TargetCollection="Restriction">
                    <Item Text="StringId" Value="DisplayName" />
                </LocalizedCollection>
         <LocalizedCollection ElementType="ClaimType" ElementId="password_header" TargetCollection="Restriction">
    <Item Text=”StringId” Value=”DisplayName”>
    </LocalizedCollection>
            </LocalizedCollections>
        </LocalizedResources>
        <LocalizedResources Id="api.localaccountsignup.jp">
            <LocalizedCollections>
                <LocalizedCollection ElementType="ClaimType" ElementId="<register_header in japanese" TargetCollection="Restriction">
                    <Item Text="StringId" Value="DisplayName" />
                </LocalizedCollection>
         <LocalizedCollection ElementType="ClaimType" ElementId="password_header in japanese" TargetCollection="Restriction">
    <Item Text=”StringId” Value=”DisplayName”>
    </LocalizedCollection>
            </LocalizedCollections>
        </LocalizedResources>
    </Localization>

Might be when you edit your custom policy to include the display results as above, then you might be able to resolve the issue as desired. Also, do refer to the link below for more details about editing the custom policy as above.
