Could you add support for dynamic language change?

esm__cs.js 205KB
esm__en.js 199KB

Hey @JosefJezek, our localization mechanism generates a new binary per language. This works by importing a specific binary based on a specific language (you shouldn't import all languages at the same time). You should be able to build your own language change mechanism based on that, for example, you could have the language in the url path and based on the path always import the specific localized binary.
Even if we support dynamic languages change, it is unlikely we will bundle all the translations into one binary (there are a lot of languages that we support). A server round trip will still likely be required.

Could you create a base module + small modules per language?

Exactly, this can be dynamically loaded after the user selects the language.
Good inspiration: https://lingui.js.org/guides/dynamic-loading-catalogs.html#final-i18n-loader-helper
