Hello,

I’ve read everything I could find here about translations/changing of error messages but can’t get it to work in the Vue(3) Vanilla Renderer.

Is the new l18n available in the renderer? How do I add it to my (UI)Schema?  
What I have to do to get own error messages?

best regards,  
Svnt

Hi @svnt,

for translating errors you can either:

- integrate `ajv-errors` by handing over a custom AJV instance to JSON Forms
- integrate `ajv-i18n` by handing over a custom `translateError` function as part of the `i18n` config object
- use the JSON Forms translation mechanism, i.e. handing over an own `translate` function as part of the `i18n` config object.

For the first option see the documentation of `ajv-errors`. For the latter two have a a look at our [preliminary documentation of the JSON Forms translation mechanism](https://deploy-preview-222--jsonforms.netlify.app/docs/i18n).

Hi @sdirix, is it possible to provide a code sample with: "use the JSON Forms translation mechanism, i.e. handing over an own `translate` function as part of the `i18n` config object. "

best regards,

The first snippet on the [`i18n` documentation page](https://jsonforms.io/docs/i18n) is exactly that example.
