When you run ng xi18n --configuration=fr, the target that actually runs is this one:

        "extract-i18n": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:extract-i18n",
          "options": {
            "browserTarget": "rubywebclient:build"
          }
        },

There you indeed have no configuration named fr. You can add it there and save the options you want to use:

        "extract-i18n": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:extract-i18n",
          "options": {
            "browserTarget": "rubywebclient:build"
          },
          "configurations" : {
            "fr": {
              "outputPath": "locale/",
              "outFile": "messages.fr.untranslated.xlf",
              "i18nFormat": "xlf",
              "i18nLocale": "fr"
            }
          }
        },

Then running ng xi18n --configuration=fr will use those options.

@filipesilva Thank you very much for your answer...I though that the target was the configurations in the "architect {build{configurations}}}" part... But it makes a lot of sense that it should comes from "extract-i18n"... Sorry for the inconvenience
