Add legal text noting hcaptch wiki on Android account creation screen for wikis with hcaptcha enabled
Open, Needs TriagePublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

On Android we need to add the following text to the account creation screen:

  • "This site is protected by hCaptcha and its Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply."
  • Product to confirm if this should only be displayed where hCaptcha is currently active and please add any other considerations.
  • Engineering to implement
  • Design to review and provide any feedback.

Event Timeline

Note that this will reuse the existing mediawiki string (via allmessages) to avoid duplicating translations.
(And for determining whether to show the hCaptcha verbiage, we will make an initial call to authmanager, which we already do anyway.)

For QA: set your primary language to Test2, and go to the Create Account screen. You should see a note at the bottom that says "This site is protected by hCaptcha..." (you don't need to create an actual account.)
If you don't have Test2 as the primary language, you should not see this message.
