$local returns the wrong local.

From the following i18n config

import { addMessages, init, getLocaleFromNavigator } from "svelte-i18n";

import enUs from "../locales/enUs.json";
addMessages("en-US", enUs);

init({
  fallbackLocale: "en-US",
  initialLocale: getLocaleFromNavigator()
});

Doing the following

<script>
import { locale } from "svelte-i18n";
$: console.log($locale)
</script>

returns fr-FR.
Isn’t $locale supposed to return the locale currently used by svelte-i18n? As fr-FR is not in the dictionary shouldn’t it fallback to en-US ?

because you know that there will never be any message from the fr-FR, locale so it will always fallback.

Not necessarily, but we could check the locale queue to see if there’s any partial dictionary to be loaded. If not and the locale isn’t registered in the dictionary, we could possibly set it to the fallback one. 🤔

Rethinking this 🤔 fr-FR should be the actual locale if the store was indeed set to it. fr-FR not being in the dictionary shouldn’t mean that the app should resort completely to the fallback local. It’s just that, for some reason, there weren’t any messages to load.
