Localised message for RestAPI error response in B2C custom policy

Question

I did localisation in my custom policy, but in certain steps I\'m calling REST API to validate some data. Response is coming in English, but now I need to translate that message

Answer 1

You can send the localisation parameter to the REST API and have it return a localised error. Or you can return back an error code from the API instead of an error string. Then use the following example to have this done in policy:

        <ClaimsSchema>
            <ClaimType Id="errorCode">
                <DisplayName>errorCode</DisplayName>

                <UserHelpText>A claim responsible for holding response codes to send to the relying party</UserHelpText>
            </ClaimType>
            <ClaimType Id="messageValue">
                <DisplayName>Message</DisplayName>
