Locale must be of the form <language> or <language>-<territory>

TypeScript Version: 2.3

When I try to publish web site from VS2017 I get following error:

Locale must be of the form <language> or <language>-<territory>. For example 'en' or 'ja-jp'.

In output window there is this line:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\2.3\tsc.exe --project "C:\VS_Projects\MyWebProject\tsconfig.json" --listEmittedFiles --locale bs-Latn-BA

I didn't set --locale anywhere, it was set either by operating system or visual studio.

Edit: Probably not important for this, but if I publish to folder, instead of web deploy, VS2017 will publish it with locale en-US.

As a workaround, set the PreferedUILang in your project to a different language, e.g. en-us

  <PropertyGroup>
    <PreferredUILang>en-us</PreferredUILang>
  </PropertyGroup>

Can confirm also happens when using TypeScript 2.2

What OS and VS versions are you using? Have you customized your language settings somehow?

[hmendozap]

Win 10 Creators Update with VS2017 (15.2 - 26430.16) Release.

Customized language settings? That's the weird part, I work in latin america, but all my dev is in english, my keyboard is dvorak-spanish, does that count?

bs-Latn-BA = Bosnian (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Latin) (Bosnian in the Latin alphabet as opposed to Cyrillic) for what it's worth

we should be able to parse locales like this.

@hmendozap Are you still running into this? Do you have a build log you can share?

I don't have enough details to make progress on this. As far as I can tell the locale passed into tsc.exe has to be one of the supported VS display languages, which this isn't one of. Without a project file / build log I'm not going to be able to understand where this string came from. Closing the issue.
