Should we check i18next languageOnly option? about i18next-browser-languagedetector HOT 6 CLOSED

is it needed? the detection can result in en-US where i18next will use en if set load to languageOnly

from i18next-browser-languagedetector.

I'm not getting what i'm expecting without this fix.
Example:

var options = { debug: true, fallbackLng: "en", load: 'languageOnly', backend: { loadPath: './locales/{{lng}}/{{ns}}.json', addPath: './locales/add/{{lng}}/{{ns}}', allowMultiLoading: false, crossDomain: false, }, detection: { order: ['localStorage', 'cookie', 'navigator'], lookupLocalStorage: 'i18nextLng', lookupCookie: 'i18next', caches: ['localStorage', 'cookie'], cookieMinutes: 60 * 60 * 24 * 365, } };

I get : i18next: languageChanged it-IT instead of i18next: languageChanged it

Also i18next.language returns "it-IT" instead of "it"

from i18next-browser-languagedetector.

yes...language is changed to it-IT does not mean it will load and use it-IT. Internal 18next will always generate an array of language(+region) to lookup: https://github.com/i18next/i18next/blob/master/src/LanguageUtils.js#L58

en-US (without load option) ==> ['en-US', 'en', 'fallbackLng']
en-US (with load option language only) ==> ['en', 'fallbackLng']

i18next.languages should return what you expect. (https://github.com/i18next/i18next/blob/master/src/i18next.js#L193)

To be clear: with load: 'languageOnly' should i get "it-IT" or "it" when performing i18next.language ?

Right now i'm getting "it-IT".

Reading the code you linked seems that "it-IT" it's the correct answer to i18next.language.
I was expecting it to be "it" with the languageOnly option.
I will have to change my app's code because it is based on the wrong assumption. Thank you!

Edit: i didn't see the "s" in your answer.
i18next.languages is indeed what i am looking for.
Thanks again.

Edit2: i can confirm that i18next.languages[0] is returning the "it" i was expecting.
I was not sure this was the right path.
Because the first time you load the app in the localstorage the "it-It" value will be stored but if for example the user changes the language of the website then the value in the localStorage wil lbe just "it" because in the code i have for example: i18next.changeLanguage("it").
This is not a problem at all because with 18next.languages[0] works in both cases.
