defineI18nLocaleDetector is not reached

[fengjac]

I have created a simple nuxt app to test defineI18nLocaleDetector.
But it does not work. I am not sure if I have used it in a wrong way. Pls give me a hand. Thanks.

The simple project is in nuxtjs-i18n-defineI18nLocaleDetector-test.

Here is my project structure:

And I just log something to see if defineI18nLocaleDetector is working:

However, when I run the project and visit page, it log nothing. It means it does not work

defineI18nLocaleDetector is not auto-discovered. The file has to be wired through the experimental option, and it runs on the server per request, so console.log output appears in the Nuxt server terminal, not the browser console.

For the default i18n/ restructure dir, the config should look like this:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  i18n: {
    experimental: {
      localeDetector: 'localeDetector.ts',
    },
  },
})

Then test with a hard reload / direct SSR request. Client-side route changes after hydration are handled by the normal route locale detection path, not by re-running the server detector in the browser.
