changeLanguage does not work for me

[domofclarkes]

My app is a video game prototype with UI done in Vue/ts.
Using i18next-vue, I can set the language after init no problem and it works for each language.
The problem is when I try to change language at runtime.
The changeLanguage function never returns it's promise.
I put a timeout on it and it times out.
Any idea why this would happen?

There are no errors logged, nothing to indicate that there is anything wrong with my setup.

I am logging the current language before I try to change it, and it's valid. Nothing seems suspect with the i18next-vue setup from what I can see.

The translations are statically defined to help testing.
All the translations for the starting language work fine.
It's just changing language that is causing a problem.

Expected behavior

The language changes

Your Environment

• i18next version: 24.2.2
• Windows
• not a browser. A windows video game using a web UI

Please share a minimal reproducible example repository or codesandbox example.

It's not possible to share a minimal reproducible example because in trying to do so - first, viewing the in game UI within a browser, and then switching languages, the language switching works. But language switching still doesn't work in-game. This is with the exact same i18next-vue setup.

I am really not sure where to go with this, and I appreciate it's not really your issue.

Who knows what is going on under the hood of this game's web framework. All I know is that the call to changeLanguage never returns it's promise, and I don't know why.

I circled back round to this and it's fixed now...it was due to js being js and not handling my string as an actual string
So the call to changeLanguage was just failing, unless I forced the string to be a string using
lang = String(lang)
All working now, thanks
