This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @koko57 eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

@lakchote @dubielzyk-expensify @shawnborton @dannymcclain I've got a question regarding error modals - I presumed that the modals with the continue button should also be shown when multi-dropping attachments, am I right? In the doc we have the copies for: max files limit, size exceeded and incorrect file type, but in the app we also check for file corrupted, size too small and that the attachment should not be a folder. Should we also have copies for these cases?

[shawnborton]

That seems to make sense to me, yeah. Can we reuse the existing copy from the app? I'm not too sure what it is.

[dannymcclain]

Agree, it makes sense to also do those checks, but let's just re-use what we already have.

@lakchote I've opened a draft PR #64323 it's almost ready for the review. One question though - how should I deal with other languages' translations?

For now, it's just a manual process of asking ChatGPT to translate the few phrases you've added to all the supported locales. You can check how it's done here.
