Description

Some users may have mistakenly translated their seed phrase during onboarding. We should target these users to the best of our ability and warn them to back up their seed phrase again (without translation).

Will also write a medium article to accompany this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the onboarding flow and how seed phrases are handled. Determine how users who translated their seed phrase can be identified and warned without exposing sensitive information, then define the accompanying Medium article and validation needed for both changes.
