i18n: How to use same defaultLocale for 2 different domains?

[kvndevils]

Hi all,

I have a domain name with a .com and .fr.
I would like to define the defaultLocale to be the same for both.
How would you achieve that please? I'm struggling with this one.

Here is the faulty config:

i18n: {
        locales: ['en', 'fr'],
        defaultLocale: 'en',
        localeDetection: false,
        domains: [
            {
                domain: 'domain1.com',
                defaultLocale: 'en'
            },
            {
                domain: 'domain2.fr',
                defaultLocale: 'fr'
            },
            {
                domain: 'domain2.com',
                defaultLocale: 'fr'
            }
        ]
    },

And here is the error I'm getting:
Both domain2.fr and domain2.com configured the defaultLocale fr but only one can. Change one item's default locale to continue

For now, I decided to remove domain2.com and set defaultLocale as 'fr' but it's not perfect as www.domain1.com uses 'fr' and domain1.com used 'en' as a result

Thank you in advance for the help!

I think this should work?

Domain Routing

i18n: {
        locales: ['en', 'fr'],
        defaultLocale: 'en',
        localeDetection: false,
        domains: [
            {
                domain: 'domain1.com',
                defaultLocale: 'en'
                locales: ['fr'],
            },
            {
                domain: 'domain2.fr',
                defaultLocale: 'fr'
            },
        ]
    },

ah thanks but no I do need the domain2.com to be set in 'fr'. It gets defaulted if I remove it.

Hi all,
Do you have any solution for this? I'm having the same issue. I need to config multiple domains with the same defaultLocale but getting an error

[kvndevils]

So, here is what I ended up doing but it's definitely not a clean solution sadly ..
In my case, I have 3 domains: domain1.com (EN), domain2.fr (FR) and domain2.com (FR).

i18n: {
        locales: ['en', 'fr', 'en-GB'],
        defaultLocale: 'fr',
        localeDetection: false,
        domains: [
            {
                domain: 'www.domain1.com',
                defaultLocale: 'en-GB'
            },
            {
                domain: 'domain1.com',
                defaultLocale: 'en'
            },
            {
                domain: 'domain2.fr',
                defaultLocale: 'fr'
            }
        ]
    },

It doesn't help me. I have 3 domains for lang:
i18n: {
// These are all the locales you want to support in
// your application
locales: ['en', 'es', 'de'],
// This is the default locale you want to be used when visiting
// a non-locale prefixed path e.g. /hello
defaultLocale: 'en',
browserLanguageDetection: false,
domains: [
{
// Note: subdomains must be included in the domain value to be matched
// e.g. www.example.com should be used if that is the expected hostname
domain: 'localhost',
defaultLocale: 'en',
locales: ['en', 'de', 'es''],
http: true,
},
{
domain: 'domain1.com',
defaultLocale: 'es',
},
{
domain: 'domain2.com',
defaultLocale: 'es',
},
{
domain: 'www.domain3.com',
defaultLocale: 'es',
},
{
domain: 'domain4.com',
defaultLocale: 'de',
},
{
domain: 'domain5.com',
defaultLocale: 'de',
},
{
domain: 'www.domain6.com',
defaultLocale: 'de',
},
],
},

just create copies of your lng dictionaries and assign different names (e.g. de-xx)?

[rishadAlamy]

then how the i18n will find trans from de.json

Hi there is really no better solution here? I have the exact same use case of .fr and .com for a website in French + the default version in English on another domain

[sandruky85]

Hi there, I'm using the env variable as the default language for all the subdomains and using the domains key for the main ones. Ex:
i18n: { locales: ['en', 'de', 'es'], defaultLocale: process.env.APP_LANG, localeDetection: false, domains: [ { domain: 'domain.en', defaultLocale: 'en', }, { domain: 'domain1.es', defaultLocale: 'es', }, { domain: 'domain2.de', defaultLocale: 'de', }, ], },

Maybe is not the best solution, but it is working for me

sorry can you explain how you tackled this ?
