Problem with translation module.

[stark raft]

WARNING(astro-i18next): missing translation key component.header.leaderboard.

My translation file.

{
  "site": {
    "title": "My awesome website!",
    "description": "Here is the description of my awesome website!"
  },
  "home": {
    "title": "Welcome to my awesome website!",
    "subtitle": "This is a <0>more complex</0> string to translate, mixed with <1>html elements</1>, such as a <2>a cool link</2>!"
  },
  "component": {
    "header": {
      "earn": "Earn",
      "leaderboard": "Leaderboard"
    }
  }
}

I'm suppose to put astro-i18next.config.mjs in root, right?

Please ping me if you can help.

@stark raft does your folder structure etc. look like in this example? https://github.com/yassinedoghri/astro-i18next/tree/beta/website/public/locales

[stark raft]

Yes.

[hollow otter]

@stark raft have you tried it without the "component" sub-key (so move "header" one level up in the translations file)?

(at least this is how it looks like in the example https://github.com/yassinedoghri/astro-i18next/blob/beta/website/public/locales/en/translation.json )

[stark raft]

Okay, I put test key at top level. And translated with the t function, like this i18next.t("test")

It doesn't work.

@stark raft missing translation key means i18next cannot find the translation key from the target translation file.
You need to provide/check these information:

1. current language -> translation file
2. astro-i18next config. -> to make sure translation files are loaded properly.
3. Make sure you restarted the dev server each time changing translation.
4. Code snippets where you called translation function.
   Check out this for reference: https://github.com/ansidev/astro-i18next-example-ssg

[stark raft]

My config looks like this.

/** @type {import('astro-i18next').AstroI18nextConfig} */
export default {
  defaultLocale: "en",
  locales: ["en", "es"],
};

[warm comet]

So what is the astro-i18next version? Where is the locales folder? By default, it is public/locales

[stark raft]

I got astro-i18next@^1.0.0-beta.14

Also have the react version installed

And yes the translations are in /public/locales

Enabling debug option can help you to collect more information

The file exists.

I can CTRL + Click on it and it takes me to the file

For some reason i18next can't find it.

My Astro config btw.

IMO, the possible solution might be downgrade to beta 13

[stark raft]

TY

It works now!
