BUG: Translation files cannot be found

[demiro]

So, I have recently upgraded my astro packages (that were working fine before) including astro-i18next...

I moved the locales from src/locales/en.json ... to public folder as stated in gest started guide:

but when running dev, I get this error:

Suspect it has something to do with the "/" in front of C:\

The file is 100% there... I tried of course opening this same file with a simple node script and is working completely fine

my config file (astro-i18next.onfig .ts)

import type { AstroI18nextConfig } from "astro-i18next";

const config: AstroI18nextConfig = {
  defaultLocale: "en",
  locales: ["en", "es"],

  i18nextServer: {
    debug: true,
  },
  i18nextClient: {
    debug: true,
  },
};

export default config;

my node test script

import fs from "fs";

fs.readFile(
  "C:/DEVELOPMENT/xxxxx/public/locales/en/translation.json",
  "utf8",
  (err, data) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err);
      return;
    }
    console.log(data);
  }
);

So after playing around for a while, I found the solution... maybe this should be somewhere in your examples

O cjanged my plain config to include:

i18nextServer: {
    debug: true,
    initImmediate: false,
    backend: {
      loadPath: "./public/locales/{{lng}}/translation.json",
    },
  },
  i18nextClient: {
    debug: true,
    initImmediate: false,
    backend: {
      loadPath: "./public/locales/{{lng}}/translation.json",
    },
  },

Hey @demiro, thanks for the issue. As you mentioned, it's because of the leading / on Windows.

This is a duplicate of #79, so I'm closing it.
