Localization: AuthKit in 90 Languages
Blog post from WorkOS
AuthKit has introduced a robust localization feature, now supporting over 90 languages to enhance global accessibility and user experience without any additional setup or cost. By automatically detecting the user's preferred language through the browser's accept-language header, AuthKit renders all user-facing elements, such as sign-up boxes and emails, in the appropriate language, broadening the potential user base and increasing conversion rates. This feature is crucial for businesses aiming for international expansion, as it eliminates the need for engineering efforts or translation costs and supports global teams. The system relies on pre-computed translations, ensuring no extra runtime overhead, and provides a fallback to US English when a locale is unrecognized. Users can preview multilingual interfaces and customize text to maintain brand consistency, with translations automatically generated. Additionally, user locale data is accessible via API for enhanced marketing and analytics insights, reinforcing that global accessibility should be the standard for all AuthKit customers.
