i18n not giving correct strings

In src/languages/en-US/coreCommands/ping.json I have this:

{
  "loading": "Calculating the latencies..."
}

{
  "loading": "Calculating the latencies..."
}

I try to use it in the ping command:

const t = await fetchT(interaction);
console.log(await resolveKey("coreCommands/ping:loading"));
console.log(t("coreCommands/ping:loading"));

const t = await fetchT(interaction);
console.log(await resolveKey("coreCommands/ping:loading"));
console.log(t("coreCommands/ping:loading"));

resolveKey gives me an empty string and using t() function just gives me the text "loading". What's happening here?

Solution:

the issue was while building. Apparently esbuild converts .json to .js

I've checked with fetchLanguage(interaction) that the language code is en-US.

~~I don’t see anything wrong~~ Did you registered plugin? Did you changed i18n in client options? Can you try resolveKey(interaction, “key”)

only changed fetchLanguage yeah

What about this

literally putting it "key"?

No coreCommands/ping:loading

still gives me empty string

That’s weird Can I see fetchLanguage

fetchLanguage(ctx) {
      return ctx.interactionGuildLocale || ctx.interactionLocale || "en-US";
    }

fetchLanguage(ctx) {
      return ctx.interactionGuildLocale || ctx.interactionLocale || "en-US";
    }

Hmm that is really weird Everything looks right You’re trying to use it in a command?

correct

I have no idea. I18n is configured like that on Skyra Bot too You can try waiting for maintainers
