Example of i18next-express-middleware with i18next-node-remote-backend

I tried this:

var i18next = require('i18next');
var middleware = require('i18next-express-middleware');
var backend = require('i18next-node-remote-backend');

i18next
    .use(middleware.LanguageDetector)
    .use(backend)
    .init({
        debug: false,
        detection: {
            order: ['querystring', 'cookie']
        },
        backend: {
            loadPath: 'http://example.com/translate?language={{lng}}',
            crossDomain: true
        }

    });

and it does not seem to fetch the resource when I access the http://localhosst:3000/?lng=en

If I pass the lng manually to the init options, it fetches the desired language passed to this variable, but I’d like to init the language bases on a variable like query param or cookie.

Thanks for all the help, you are right!

you don’t have to init with a specific language on a webserver. think of it - every request comes from a different user with possible different language. If you set language globally you can cause errors by using the wrong language as a user two changes language during user ones request (async nature of node).

You basically should preload all the languages you support on server using the preload option on init (array of languages you want to load).
