Single translation file per language

[EskelCz]

Thanks for the library.

Is it possible to have just one file per language? I have just a few texts per page and it doesn't make much sense to have then separate files. I'd like to use a js file instead of json and separate the pages with comments.

I tried this config

const lang = { en: 'English', cs: 'Česky' }
export const config = {
  translations: { en: { lang }, cs: { lang } },
  loaders: [
    { locale: 'en', loader: async () => await import('./en.js') },
    { locale: 'cs', loader: async () => await import('./cs.js') }
  ]
}

it doesn't throw any errors but the t method just returns the argument string.

Hi @EskelCz!

This library is meant to be module-based, so every translation "module" should have a specific key (so the lib can identify later which modules are already loaded and prevent duplicit loads). This means that you can use this config:

const lang = { en: 'English', cs: 'Česky' }
export const config = {
  translations: { en: { lang }, cs: { lang } },
  loaders: [
    { locale: 'en', key: 'common', loader: async () => await import('./en.js') },
    { locale: 'cs', key: 'common', loader: async () => await import('./cs.js') }
  ]
}

which results in $t('common.your.translations') inside your .svelte files.

Hope this helps!.)

Perfect, thanks :)
