Attempting to customize the text of invalid email domain message. I’ve tried changing every other text block on both the login page and popup, and everything else works. Not sure if this is a bug, or somehow possibly related to a subfolder install (highly doubt it).

The key is `user.email.not_allowed`

Right, look at screenshot 1 (zoomed in for screenshot 2) above, I changed that key.

There was something like this with some other text that couldn’t be translated. The problem then was that the `I18n.t` function was being passed a symbol instead of a string. Maybe that’s what is happening here. Doing a search for `user.email.not_allowed` shows that it is being passed as a symbol.

```rb
# email_validator.rb
...
    if record.errors[attribute].blank? && value && ScreenedEmail.should_block?(value)
      record.errors.add(attribute, I18n.t(:'user.email.blocked'))
    end

```

Just pushed a fix to support both `string` and `symbol` as key for translations 🍌
