in theory with javascript, in general there is no compile time at all… but stuff like fbt or js-lingui (for react) is probably near to the compile time topic like angular i18n… (which basically creates a copy of the app for each individual language)
Sure, Typescript is transpiled, but in this context I mean "build-time". It's is a huge advantage to be able to translate on build-time instead of runtime.
Yes, you technically ship X versions of the code but in practice that's no big deal. One service worker is generated per locale. Having every static translation generated in the build step is something I wish was possible with React/Next as well. It feels like going a step back, having to resort to runtime translations.
That's what initially had to use in Vue/Angular, until Angular's i18n had matured enough to be used build-time.
Thanks for your answer, I'm on a learning experience with Next so I'm not familiar with these things yet, but working on it:)
