Hello,  
Is it possible to customize site texts inside Customize, for specific languages?  
Would be great if I could translate for example, the “An account is required. Please create an account or log in to continue.” if the user has a different language.

This can be done on sites that have enabled the `allow user locale` site setting. To customize text from a locale other than the site’s default locale, select the locale from the Interface section of your profile page, and then go to the Admin / Customize / Text section of the site. Any text that you customize will only affect the locale you have selected.
