Duplicate of #274.

I've got the same problem

@DutchPrince I do not have knowledge about now the now platform abstracts filesystems. I would welcome any PRs. Alternatively, you can consume your localisation content via network requests with any number of i18next plugins.

Excuse me guys I probably have searched for every thread that is related to this but I can't find a way to tell the server what is the path to the locales... I didn't find anything helping me in the said duplicate #274.

I am also using vercel, did anyone manage to make it work with next-i18next ?

My locales are located in public/static/locales

But when I deploy I got this path as not found

/var/task/public/static/locales/en'

I noticed that once deployed the structure on vercel has no public/

I know that "/public/static/locales" is the default i18n path, so I tried to change it to /static/locales so it will fit the vercel structure.

So I set localePath to "static/locales"

Then is does not deploy anymore and I got this as a path not found...

*/vercel/7d248d1f/static/locales/en'*

I tried also the backEnd config option without success...

I am out of idea. Help :'(
Thank you guys.

@Chill-Studio This issue needs to be resolved by the Vercel team, and they're aware of it: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/13624

[Chill-Studio]

Wo that's a fast answer thank you !

Arg I can see there is not workaround :(

[isaachinman]

At the moment, the best "workaround" is to use a different serverless platform.

[limebear]

Is there any other platforms recommend?

[isaachinman]

@limebear The issue has been resolved. Vercel is probably your best option.
