Description

Support thread: Social sign-in and password toggle not localizable.

On localized sign-in and sign-up forms, password visibility controls and icon-only OAuth buttons still expose hard-coded English accessible labels. Localize the password toggle with new formFieldAction__showPassword / formFieldAction__hidePassword keys, translated across all 49 supported locales. Older localization resources retain English fallback.

Icon-only social buttons now use the existing socialButtonsBlockButton translation for their accessible names. Block buttons keep their localized visible names, and provider icons are hidden from the accessibility tree to avoid duplicate labels.

Includes a changeset and regression tests covering sign-in/sign-up contexts, automatic/icon/block social layouts, custom translations, password visibility changes, and fallback for older resources. To verify manually, render either auth form in a non-English locale with three OAuth providers and inspect the button names in the accessibility tree, then toggle password visibility.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Password visibility buttons now use localized labels, with translations added across supported locale resources. Icon-style social sign-in buttons receive localized accessible names, and provider icons are hidden from the accessibility tree. Tests cover password label selection and social button names across layouts.

🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (72%): The before/after snippets are structurally identical in all visible portions; the only difference is '2248 lines elided' vs '2250 lines elided', indicating 2 new fields were added. __internal_LocalizationResource is used only as the base for LocalizationResource (via DeepPartial<DeepLocalizationWithoutObjects<...>>), which wraps everything in optional/partial, so consumers read values from it (output direction). Adding new fields to an output type is non-breaking.

Regenerate the localization Typedoc reference for these keys.

clerk-typedoc/shared/localization-resource.mdx states that it contains all supported localization keys, but its properties table omits formFieldAction__hidePassword and formFieldAction__showPassword. The clerk-typedoc/ files are generated from clerk/javascript, so include both keys in the next Typedoc refresh instead of editing the generated file manually.

Declare explicit return types for the new test callbacks.

The fixture callback returns no value, and createFixtures accepts callbacks returning void. Add the explicit return types without changing the test behavior.
