[Translator] Parent locales are not implemented (yet)

[mkrauser]

I guess the ux-translator should behave like symfony. I notices that fallback-locales are not implemented yet:

see https://symfony.com/doc/current/translation.html#fallback-translation-locales

[smnandre]

Strictly speaking, fallback locales are implemented: https://github.com/symfony/ux/blob/03a85b5301c675076121b9e4664d0b29f3750d03/src/Translator/src/TranslationsDumper.php#L177

But I imagine you are refering to the parent locale system ? (en_GB -> en)

I don't think this is something implemented right now (@maelanleborgne correct me if i'm wrong)

Would you like to work on this feature @mkrauser ?

Hi, maybe I did things wrong when implementing them, but they should be there:

• https://github.com/symfony/ux/blob/2.x/src/Translator/assets/src/translator.ts#L135C11-L162
• tests: https://github.com/symfony/ux/blob/2.x/src/Translator/assets/test/translator.test.ts#L412-L463

WDYM when saying "I notices that fallback-locales are not implemented yet", do you have some code to share with us?

[mkrauser]

Hey,

we are using german ("de") as our main (and fallback) language and some message are "translated" to austria "de_AT". In PHP the fallback from "de_AT" to "de" works. In the ux-translator not. So I guess it is like @smnandre suspected:

But I imagine you are refering to the parent locale system ? (en_GB -> en)

I did not check the ux-code, I just suspected it was not implemented yet. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, I would love to do that. But I'll be on vacation soon so it'll take a couple of weeks

Could I get an answer? If I do not hear anything I will assume this issue is resolved or abandoned. Please get back to me <3

[mkrauser]

@carsonbot I'll take a look at this
