Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Contact method - An error message is in English in Spanish account

What is the root cause of that problem?

While validating secondary contact methods, we're displaying the error from server, but the server's returning message instead of phrase key, that's why even we changed the language, the error is still in English.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

From Frontend: Add translations key for the error from server, for example in this issue, we should add translation for invalid magic code.
From backend: Return error with the key phrase instead of english text.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[muttmuure]

@hungvu193's proposal looks like a good start @mollfpr

[mollfpr]

I think it's not worth using BE changes here. We already have the phrase for validating error contacts.genericFailureMessages.validateSecondaryLogin, but it displays the error message from the server instead.

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Contact method - An error message is in English in Spanish account

What is the root cause of that problem?

• When we're failed to validate secondary login, we get current timestamp before sending API, and set a translation phrase key to the errorFields:
  

  App/src/libs/actions/User.js

  Lines 450 to 452 in b528d3a

  	errorFields: {
  	validateLogin: ErrorUtils.getMicroSecondOnyxError('contacts.genericFailureMessages.validateSecondaryLogin'),
  	},

But BE also returns an error message too with timestamp at the time that BE validate magic code. That means error message of BE always has the timestamp greater than the timestamp of FE failureData

For example:

• Thus, when we select error message to show in the Form, we select latest error message which is the BE error in this case
  

  App/src/pages/settings/Profile/Contacts/ValidateCodeForm/BaseValidateCodeForm.js

  Line 168 in b528d3a

  errors={ErrorUtils.getLatestErrorField(loginData, 'validateLogin')}

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

I think we should select the first error message to show in this case. Because every time we call API to validate secondary login, we already cleared the errorFields and we have set an error message in the failureData in FE side so it makes sense if we should use it instead of BE error messages which usually contains either technical errors or English error messages.

In order to do it, we can make another function getFirstErrorField same as getLatestErrorField here, but it will get first. Then we use it to show in the Secondary login validation form here

I agree with you @hoangzinh as I thought we could reuse the current phrase that we have.

Posting the calculation since Melvin forget about it

The issue assignment is on Jul 3, 2023, 6:52 PM GMT+8.

PR merged is on Jul 6, 2023, 6:35 PM GMT+8.

So, July 6, 2023, 6:35 PM GMT+8 is approximately 2.958 days after July 3, 2023, 6:52 PM GMT+8, which is nearly 3 days later.

This is still eligible for the bonus.
