Changing localization.yml for proper authentication and translation

[pranjal-glowingstar]

Problem

The pipeline for localization(localization.yml) was always giving error when running leading to no translations and no pull request raise.

Root cause

There were 3 main issues with the flow

1. The app registration for FluentUi-Android was not done. The previous app registration was deleted somehow due to which the authentication and authorization both were impacted. Application client ID and application client secret present in repository secrets were useless.

2. The authentication mechanism required change from client secret type to federated credentials. Instead of passing client ID and client secret, we are using OIDC mechanism to get a token in runtime and then authenticate ourselves.

3. The new team created required its client ID addition in touchdown build team to provide proper authorization and remove the 403 forbidden error.

Fix

We have added a new app registration with the same name(FluentUi-Android), added federated credentials, updated the repository secrets with correct client ID and added this tenant in touchdown build's team.

Validations

Pipeline running successfully, translations happening and PR begin raised automatically.
