Fallback language translations failing to be processed.

I have angular translate configured using the following code.

        $translateProvider.useStaticFilesLoader({
            files: [{
                prefix: 'i18n/sys-captions.',
                suffix: '.json'
            }]
        }).fallbackLanguage('en_US')
        .determinePreferredLanguage();

In this instance determinePreferredLanguage correctly sets my preferred language as en_GB (I’m currently experimenting with how reliable it is). I only have the US translation file available and the fallbackLanguage file is correctly loaded from the server.

However, when I try and translate an item via the $translate service, it will fail to find the item. The problem seems to reside inside the determineTranslation function.

if ($uses && $fallbackLanguage && $fallbackLanguage.length) {
   fallbackTranslation(translationId, interpolateParams, Interpolator, defaultTranslationText)

In my cases the $uses variable appears as undefined and so it does not make an attempt to process the fallback translation. Removing the $uses variable from the if statement corrects the issue for me.

Sure do @tspaeth – I have now verified this fix worked for me, thanks a lot! Fallback language’s translation string is now loaded if target language doesn’t have it translated.
