Description of change

The identity verification screens come from Didit's hosted UI, so the translations in #1145 never reached them: a Russian or Ukrainian user saw English from the moment verification started.

Didit takes a language on session creation and supports ru and uk under the same ISO 639-1 codes the app already uses. We were omitting it, and Didit's fallback — detecting the browser language — does not work inside the Tauri webview.

The locale has to travel from the wallet through the provisioner, so this touches both sides. The wallet sends its active locale on the four calls that open a session; evault-core forwards it to Didit.

Issue Number

Closes #1153

Type of change

Fix (a change which fixes an issue)

How the change has been tested

pnpm check in eid-wallet (0 errors, 5 pre-existing warnings) and tsc in evault-core both pass. The five specs covering verification and recovery pass — 25 tests, including 12 new ones on the code validation.

The full evault-core suite only runs where Postgres and Neo4j are up, so locally it was the targeted specs; CI runs the rest and is green.

Verified against Didit's live API with a sandbox workflow. A session created with language: "ru" returns verify.didit.me/ru/session/<token> and the page renders in Russian; omitting the field returns the unprefixed URL and English. en and uk return the same shape, so the locale travels in the URL path rather than on the session.

Change checklist

  • I have ensured that the CI Checks pass locally
  • I have removed any unnecessary logic
  • My code is well documented
  • I have signed my commits
  • My code follows the pattern of the application
  • I have self reviewed my code

Notes

  • Four call sites open a session: ePassport, onboarding, the KYC upgrade overlay and account recovery. Recovery goes through /recovery/start-session rather than /verification/v2, so it needed handling separately.
  • Both controllers fell back to a hardcoded verify.didit.me/session/<token> when Didit returns neither verification_url nor url. Since the locale lives in the path, that fallback would have served an English page from a Russian session, so it now carries the language too.
  • Anything that is not a plausible ISO 639-1 code falls back to en instead of being handed to Didit as-is. Format is checked rather than matched against a fixed list, so adding a wallet locale needs no change here.
  • Recovery is the one that mattered most: someone recovering an account is already in trouble, and that was the worst place to drop them into English.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Identity verification, ePassport checks, onboarding, KYC upgrades, and account recovery now use your current language when starting a session.
    • Verification and recovery pages open in the selected language when a service provides a fallback link.
    • Unsupported or missing language preferences default to English.

…language

Didit renders its own UI, so the translations added in #1145 never reached the
verification screens: a Russian user saw English from the moment verification
started. Didit takes a `language` on session creation and supports both ru and
uk under the same ISO 639-1 codes the app already uses. Without it Didit falls
back to detecting the browser language, which does not work inside the Tauri
webview.

The locale has to travel from the wallet through the provisioner, so this
touches both sides. The wallet sends its active locale on the four calls that
open a session — ePassport, onboarding, the KYC upgrade overlay and account
recovery — and evault-core forwards it to Didit.

Anything that is not a plausible ISO 639-1 code falls back to `en` rather than
being handed to Didit as-is.

Recovery is the one that mattered most: someone recovering an account is
already in trouble, and that was the worst place to drop them into English.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Wallet verification and recovery requests now include the current locale. evault-core validates the language value, passes it to Didit when creating sessions, and uses it in fallback verification URLs.

Changes

Verification locale propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pass locale from wallet routes
infrastructure/eid-wallet/src/routes/(app)/ePassport/+page.svelte, infrastructure/eid-wallet/src/routes/(app)/main/legacy/KycUpgradeOverlay.svelte, infrastructure/eid-wallet/src/routes/(auth)/onboarding/+page.svelte, infrastructure/eid-wallet/src/routes/(public)/recover/+page.svelte
These routes include the current locale in verification-start, session-creation, or recovery-start requests.
Validate session language
infrastructure/evault-core/src/utils/verificationLanguage.ts, infrastructure/evault-core/src/utils/verificationLanguage.spec.ts
verificationLanguage returns matching language codes unchanged and defaults other values to en. Tests cover supported codes and fallback inputs.
Pass language to Didit sessions
infrastructure/evault-core/src/controllers/VerificationController.ts, infrastructure/evault-core/src/controllers/RecoveryController.ts
Both controllers pass the resolved language to Didit and include it in fallback verification URLs.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 40f91

Verification or recovery requests using an unsupported locale may fail to start. Restrict the accepted codes to Didit’s supported languages before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 40f91

The change appears limited to verification-screen language. Existing session identity and access controls remain in place, but the provider behavior and fallback URL have not been tested in a live session.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new wallet-supplied value affects the language of individual Didit verification sessions and their fallback URLs, not the provider destination or server-selected workflows. The recovery endpoint remains public as it was before this change.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Untrusted request language is reduced to a constrained locale-shaped string or en before reaching Didit or the fixed-host fallback URL. Verification authorization and server ownership of credentials, workflow, and identity remain separate from that value.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Invalid-format language falls back to en, but the format check does not establish that Didit supports every accepted code. Provider rejection could interrupt session creation; no live provider test is available.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Validate a real Russian and Ukrainian session, including the fallback URL case, and consider restricting accepted codes to those supported by Didit if its contract is narrower than the syntax check.

Verified against Didit's API: the locale is carried by the URL path, not by
the session. Creating a session with language ru returns
verify.didit.me/ru/session/<token>, and the page renders in Russian; en and uk
follow the same shape.

Both controllers fell back to a hardcoded verify.didit.me/session/<token> when
Didit's response carries neither verification_url nor url. That fallback would
have produced an English page from a session created in Russian, which is the
one thing this change exists to prevent. It now carries the same language sent
to Didit.

…own list

Checking only the shape of the code accepted values like es-MX and zz, which
Didit does not offer. Forwarding one risks a rejected session, and a rejected
session means verification or recovery never starts — the opposite of failing
safe.

An unlisted code now falls back to en. The list will drift as Didit adds
languages, but drift costs an English screen where a translated one existed,
whereas the permissive version cost the whole flow.

Nothing the wallet sends is affected: paraglide only ever yields en, ru or uk.
