I currently have a use-case where I need to have an empty string in my translation file. Currently, i18n-node will replace this translation with the key, as it thinks that the translation does not exist. Here's an example:
Used like so;
Currently, this is output like so (with group name X):
English:
Add to <strong>X</strong> group
French:
Ajouter au groupe <strong>X</strong> AddToGroup.2
because i18n-node will replace the empty string for
AddToGroup.2
in French with the keyAddToGroup.2
.This pull request fixes that by only replacing with the key if the translation key does not exist, rather than being empty string (was a basic falsey check where it should've been a check for null/undefined).
Also added some tests for this use case.
