Is there a way to make one locale "extend" another?

[ethteck]

If we want to change "localization" to "localisation" for en_gb but define all the "base" strings in the en_us locale, can we have a brief en_gb file with only the overridden values and have en_us be a fallback locale for when the user is using en_gb ?

I realize there's a feature to do this in js, but I'm asking if it can be done in a way where we don't have to specify a fallback string every time we render the word "localization" and just do something where we search for the string in the specific locale and then fall back to the base one if it doesn't exist

You can do it overwritting loadLocaleFrom configuration prop, something like:

i18n.js

{
  // ...rest of config
  "loadLocaleFrom": async (lang, ns) => {
     const defaultValues = lang === 'en_gb' 
      ? await  import(`./locales/en_us/${ns}.json`).then((m) => m.default) 
      : {}

     return {
       ...defaultValues, 
       ...(await import(`./locales/${lang}/${ns}.json`).then((m) => m.default)) 
      }
   },
}

Thanks. Did not know about the discussions feature on the site - my bad for making is an issue. And I appreciate the timely and helpful response :)
