Missing "beforeChange"-event

I just want to start to dynamically load my translations. I thought I could simply hook into the “change” event and import my message-catalog from there. I was missing that this event is propagated after the locale is set. Therefor the messages are missing while setting the new locale in i18n and my plan failed miserably… 😉

Describe proposed solution I would love to have an event which fires on i18n.activate(locale), but before the locale is internally actually set. This would enable dynamic message-loading inside the i18n-context without the need for custom methods or similar.

PS: Thanks for the work on linguijs - love it! ❤️

I’m no maintainer of linguijs so I was just trying to help you in case you were stuck, that’s all 😃 And because I was also like @semoal quite sure you do not need this event. (You can go with an event oriented solution, but I’m pretty sure you can do without and with better and more readable code)

Feel free to post a PR with your solution and your use case, I’m very curious about this solution. If I’m wrong I would be the 1st to support it and use it because I think I have a similar use case (That I solved by doing the less copy / paste I could do, code quoted just above, and it’s fine by me)
