Default value

Hello. Please, look at example code:

var locale = {
  en1:{
    msg1:"Test1",
    msg2:"Test2"
  },
  en2:{
    msg1:"Test1",
  }
}

Now, If I try to use $t(‘msg1’) when lang is set to “en2” I’ll see on screen “Test1”. But if I try to use $t(‘msg2’) I’ll see “msg2”. How can I set default lang, or what should I do, If I want to return default lang value, when the value is absent in current lang?

Hi @VegardSkui @guillaumevincent & @LuckyBlade.

I don’t know if you already solved this, but there’s a fallbackLang property as part of this package that can be set to the Vue.config object to fallback to a specific language.

So whenever bootstrapping your application besides setting the Vue.config.lang, also set Vue.config.fallbackLang.

e.g.: Vue.config.fallbackLang = 'en1'

That would solve your needs.

maybe the api could be more friendly like :

$t('msg2');
$t('msg2', 'default value');

it’s more declarative, can be extracted automatically, and always display a value, even if an error occurred.

Love the api in the v2 of Intl in FormatJS by yahoo
