This is an alternate fix for @bmpf issue #213 ... The originally suggested fix of modifying the blade template directly referencing superglobals felt a bit messy to me. Givewn that the issue is the Vuex store being initialised with an invalid value, I thought it'd be better to fix the issue in the store itself, and have the store validate it's data on initialisation.

Hi @jimohalloran @cretueusebiu

This 'fix' ll cause another bug. On the first load the i18n text wont load properly.

Tested on a private tab.

I can't reproduce what you're describing @bmpf ... On first page load the translated text always appears as expected, even when loaded in a private window (tried both Chrome and Safari). The translation strings in the screenshot you've provided aren't in an unmodified version of this project. Are you 100% sure this is a problem with the code from this project and not something you've added?

I wonder if this is related to #223 ? Maybe under some circumstances the .json file isn't loaded, or isn't loaded early enough?

@jimohalloran , open a private tab, and enter the url . Has to be the very first load. After that all works fine.
