Having problems with password UPDATE error messages that are not localized when accessing user profile through frontend.

OK, the long version: I have moved user admin (profile) page to my frontend (for subscribers, anyway), to keep page themed. The problem is if they change password and make any error, error messages are taken from wp-admin\includes\user.php, but not showed localized. I guess this is because WP thinks we are NOT on admin backend, hence WP_ADMIN constant is false, hence localizationLocalization Localization (sometimes shortened to "l10n") is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language, culture, and desired local "look-and-feel." is not looking up admin-lang.moMO files MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. This is the format used in a WordPress install. These files are normally located inside .../wp-content/languages/ file (my case admin-it_IT.mo)!

Interesting detail: Error messages regarding email errors (invalid email) ARE being shown localized, because included in regular frontend po/mo filesMO files MO, or Machine Object is a binary data file that contains object data referenced by a program. It is typically used to translate program code, and may be loaded or imported into the GNU gettext program. This is the format used in a WordPress install. These files are normally located inside .../wp-content/languages/ (i.e. it_IT.mo)! (I have not tested for ALL possible error messages, I may not be as innovative in messing up like some users are…)

My request:
Since probably many theme developer want to have basic user profile administration on frontend interface, please include ALL possible error messages regarding profile updates to the frontend po/mo files, or make sure that when calling user.php the correct admin-….po/mo files are called
(hope I made myself clear, I am not a techie…)
Thanks

I too encountered this problem, so I second this request. Meanwhile, I’m planning on manually converting the error messages (only a few).

Not sure if this is a i18nInternationalization Internationalization (sometimes shortened to I18N , meaning “I - eighteen letters -N”) is the process of planning and implementing products and services so that they can easily be adapted to specific local languages and cultures, a process called localization. This is the process of making software translatable. Information about Internationalization for developers can be found in the Developer’s handbooks. issue per se: it sounds like either a) a tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. ticket waiting to happen (not in my opinion), b) a pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party/function call waiting to happen
