errors	object			A map of errors. Error messages for known errors are rendered automatically. Unknown errors will be forwarded to renderError
errors.missing	bool
renderError	func			Called with custom errors. This function can return a message which will be wrapped in an ErrorMessage. It can also return null to show no error. Signature: (key, error) => React.node
isRequired	bool			Indicates if the value is required. Shows an the "required asterisk" if so.

onChange	custom			Called with an event containing the new value. Required when input is not read only. Parent should pass it back as value. Signature: (event) => void
selectedLanguage	string	✅		Specifies which language will be shown in case the LocalizedTextInput is collapsed.
onBlur	func			Called when input is blurred
onFocus	func			Called when input is focused
defaultExpandMultilineText	bool			Expands input components holding multiline values instead of collpasing them by default.

data-* props

The component further forwards all data- attributes to the underlying input component.

errors

This object is a key-value map. The renderError prop will be called for each entry with the key and the value. The return value will be rendered inside an ErrorMessage component underneath the input.

The LocalizedMultilineTextField supports some errors out of the box. Return undefined from renderError for these and the default errors will be shown instead. This prevents consumers from having to reimplement the same error messages for known errors while still keeping the flexibility of showing custom error messages for them.

When the key is known, and when the value is truthy, and when renderError returned undefined for that error entry, then the LocalizedMultilineTextField will render an appropriate error automatically.

Known error keys are:

• missing: tells the user that this field is required
