Ivy doesn't pick up translation files

🐞 bug report

Affected Package

probably @angular/localize

Is this a regression?

in comparison to v8, yes

Description

I’m not sure is it a bug or problem with my configuration. I’m testing new translation features from v9 and set up a small application following this guide https://next.angular.io/guide/i18n#merge-the-completed-translation-file-into-the-app

I don’t have any error but the compiler says that translation is missed for all string, despite the fact that I provided xlf-file with translation.

Another interesting observation is that string ids are different from the specified in xlf-files, even the string with the fixed id resetButton has another id "resetButton␟878de3ad44e634ecaf219427d948689bd975e1af␟1029122298839770722" in the message.

It looks like ids change every build and that’s probably the reason why compuler is unable to find translations, but it’s only my gues

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

Here’s the test application I’m playing with https://github.com/fetis/ng9translation

Try ng serve -c=ru to see the problem. The locale is set to Russian but none of the strings are translated.

The same result for ng build --prod or ng build -c=ru

I had the same problem. It turned out that ng add added some old rc0 version of @angular/localize. Upgrading to rc7 fixed the issue for me. Also it seemed to work with xlf2 format, even with the old @angular/localize version.
