Return static default value when localization key does not exist

[pchaudha]

Is there any way to return static value provided if key does not exist?

If a term doesn't exist in the target translation or the fallback, the key will be output. There's currently no way to change this, but there's an undocumented method to check if a term exists that may help you.

localize/src/index.ts

Lines 131 to 149 in 6e9dfa5

	/** Determines if the specified term exists, optionally checking the fallback translation. */
	exists<K extends keyof UserTranslation>(key: K, options: Partial<ExistsOptions>): boolean {
	const { primary, secondary } = this.getTranslationData(options.lang ?? this.lang());
	options = {
	includeFallback: false,
	...options
	};
	if (
	(primary && primary[key]) ||
	(secondary && secondary[key]) ||
	(options.includeFallback && fallback && fallback[key as keyof Translation])
	) {
	return true;
	}
	return false;
	}

I would consider this method public and stable.
