Specifing a specific locale in $t

[ibrahimBeladi]

I would like to ask if there is a way to specify the language used in $t function regardless of the current locale/language.
In other words, I want to show messages in language x without hard-coding the messages.
For example, $t('some.message', { locale: 'en' }) would result in the English translation regardless of the current locale.

you can use locale property of $i18n
please check detail docs:
https://kazupon.github.io/vue-i18n/guide/locale.html

thanks

What I am asking is that I have the app with locale = a
I want to show one message with locale: b and another message with locale: c.
So, the messages are shown in locale b and c respectively, while the whole app is displayed as locale = a

This is not the place to ask questions, Here is the bug & issue-reporting place.
You can ask about the question in the Vue.js Discord.
Please understand.

Thanks

For anyone else coming accross this question:

Using the old package kazupon/vue-i18n the following should be possible:

$t(key, locale)

---

When using the successor-package intlify/vue-i18n-next , the answer depends on if you are using Vue I18n's Legacy API or the newer Composition API:

---

Using Legacy API as described in the normal setup guide the usages of the t() function are stated here.

This means you can still use the following call to translate a key to a specific locale (e.g. 'fr'):

$t(key, locale)

Example:

$t('message.key', 'fr')

---

Using the Composition API by calling createI18n() with the option legacy: false (as described here), the usages of the t() function are different as stated here. You can no longer pass the locale-string as the second parameter, but the locale can be handed over inside a TranslateOptions object. Unfortunately, there is no t(key,TranslateOptions) variant, but only the following variants:

$t(key, plural, TranslateOptions)
$t(key, defaultMsg, TranslateOptions)
$t(key, interpolations, TranslateOptions)

So the easiest solution would be e.g.:

$t('message.key', 1, { locale: 'fr' })
