"locale" isn't respected in tsconfig.json

[DanielRosenwasser]

Create a project with a tsconfig.json, write some erroneous code, start compiling in --watch mode, and try changing the locale option around a bit. You'll see that the error messages don't actually get reflected to the currently specified language.

I thought this was a problem with tsconfig.json not getting its settings updated, but it's really just that it's not checked.

--locale is really a function of the process that is doing the compilation, either tsc or tsserver. the locale is loaded once during the process lifetime and is not changed during the execution. in that sense having it in the tsconfig.json is not right.

Pushed SchemaStore/schemastore#362 to remove --locale from tsconfig.json help.

I'm very annoyed with force applying of your localization. I don't want to see any languages without English while at coding. Localized error messages don't have compatibility with non-localized on trouble shooting.

No one is forcing anything on anybody.. English is the default. I am assuming you are using VSCode, and in this case, it uses your locale for the errors. if you want to opt-out of this behavior set "typescript.locale": "en" in your settings.
