Make "Angular 9 introduced a global `$localize()`..." message a warning instead of error

🚀 feature request

Relevant Package

This feature request is for @angular/core

Description

Please consider changing the “Angular 9 introduced a global`$localize()…” message from an error to a console warning. In a monorepo, a shared lib/module may have components that are i18n aware that some applications will actually not use, although they have a dependency for some other functionality. With this message as an error, even applications that don’t require i18n now break at runtime.

Describe the solution you’d like

Use console.warn(…) instead.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

Not much I can do except add import '@angular/localize/init'; to all apps in the monorepo. Other suggestions welcome.

@petebacondarwin thanks. I’ll put this on my radar to test. I have a busy couple weeks coming up.

https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/38404 should solve this problem (by moving the $localize calls into a lazy evaluated factory function. In this case the call is not made if the component is not used.
