Form validation messages always display in English

What happened?

Validation error messages in sign-in/sign-up forms always display in English, regardless of the selected language setting.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Change language to any non-English language (e.g., French, Japanese, Chinese)
2. Go to sign-in form
3. Leave email field empty and try to submit
4. Validation message shows "Invalid email address" in English instead of the selected language

How is this affecting you?

Personally? I mean, it's blocking me from merging #5810. This is only a little annoying. Also I feel bad for people who don't speak English.

Additional Context

The issue is in /src/schemas/signInSchema.ts where the t() translation function is called at module import time, causing translations to be evaluated once at startup rather than dynamically when validation occurs.

My general thought here is that this should not be happening in schemas at all. To my mind, a JSON schema is not a place where we should be dynamically generating content at all.

You are correct about the root cause: the validation schemas (like those in /src/schemas/signInSchema.ts) call the t() translation function at module import time, so the error messages are set once and do not update when you change the language. This pattern is used throughout the form validation schemas, which means validation messages will always display in the language that was active when the app loaded, regardless of later language changes. There is currently no mechanism in the codebase to re-evaluate or update these messages dynamically with language changes, so this is a limitation of how localization is implemented for validation errors right now. UI labels and placeholders update reactively, but validation messages do not because of this static evaluation pattern citation.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

@codex Can you make a PR to fix this?

Haha thanks guys... do you want me to leave this open so you can use it as a test for codex integration? It's semi-blocking.

I could just leave these "not really schemas" (and hence, this problem) in the frontend, and separate the "pure" schemas out.

this can be closed when finished

are you taking this? I can if not, feel free to assign as an answer

That would be awesome, thank you! This is somewhere around three nested levels of scope creep, from what I'm actually doing.
