Versions

I'm not sure why is that but just gonna add this extra screenshot:

@pi0 any extra considerations that have to be taken into account when using addTemplate / addPlugin?

I also get this issue with:

nuxt: 2.15.3
nuxt-vite: 0.1.1
nuxt-i18n: 6.27.1

Use langDir + translation files seems to eliminate the error.

  // nuxt.config.js
  i18n: {
    locales: 
      [{
        code: 'zh',
        file: 'zh-HK.js'
      }, {
        code: 'en',
        file: 'en-GB.js'
      }],
    defaultLocale: 'zh',
    langDir: 'lang/', // <---
    vueI18n: {
      fallbackLocale: 'zh',
    }
  },

// lang/en-GB.js
export default {
  welcome: 'Welcome'
}

// package.json
"nuxt": "^2.15.7",
"nuxt-vite": "^0.1.0",
"nuxt-i18n": "^6.27.2",

It looks like the plugin checks for langDir before exporting localeMessages in options.js

// node_modules/nuxt-i18n/src/templates/options.js
if (langDir) { %>
export const localeMessages = {
...

See documentation for landDir option and translation files

Thanks for that. So it's actually an issue with nuxt-i18n. Fixing in nuxt-modules/i18n#1251.
