React-native-i18n: Default language when missing translation

[diegorodriguesvieira]

How can I set a default language when missing translation?

Example:

I18n.translations = {
  en: {
    choose: 'Choose'
  },
  es: {
    choose: 'seleccionar!'
  }
}

If I run this code on device with pt-BR language, It will cause an error saying that the language is missing pt-BR

You can apply some configuration before I18n is loaded:

I18n.defaultLocale = 'pt-BR'

Hi, I'm having some problem configuration with this plugin...

My device is on English, and I would like that Spanish Language was the default language, if for example, an Italian Device install the app the language default must be Spanish. But my device is ignoring my language device (en output of I18n.currentLocale() function)

This is my current configuration and code:

// Import 
import I18n from 'react-native-i18n';

.. stuff code ...

// Configuration I18n

I18n.defaultLocale = 'es-ES';
I18n.fallbacks = true;
I18n.translations = {
    en: {
        greeting: 'Hi!'
    },
    es: {
        greeting: 'Hola!'
    }

};

.. stuff code ...

// Component Class and StyleSheet code... 

export default class MyScreen extends Component {
    render() {
       return (
               <View>
                     <Text style={styles.signupLinkText}>{I18n.t('greeting')}</Text>
               </View>
                  )
     }
}

Output desired:

Italian Device -> locale (it) -> greeting message -> Hola!
Spanish Device -> locale (es) -> greeting message -> Hola!
USA Device -> locale (en-US) -> greeting message -> Hi!
UK Device -> locale (en-UK) -> greeting message -> Hi!

Thank you so much!! Excellent work!!

Hi, I solved adding this to my configuration:

I18n.locale = I18n.currentLocale();

I think that this is a bug, check this: https://github.com/AlexanderZaytsev/react-native-i18n/issues/43

But we can not get the devices default locale. It always returns 'en'

[chemitaxis]

@isener Ok, you are right... always return 'en', I don't know why in one moment, it was returning other language, sorry for the mistake...

[chemitaxis]

Somebody solved it?

This is dont work:
I18n.defaultLocale = 'pt-BR'

[samuelematias]

When my app doesn't have the translations, I put I18n.locale = 'pt-BR'; rather than I18n.defaultLocale = 'pt-BR' and works.
