Fallback locale not working

[Coding-Kiwi]

Situation: the locale is "de", the fallback locale is "en" and there are only translations for "en"

Expected behavior

calling the trans( function should output an 'en' translation

Current behavior

matice throws a Locale [de] does not exist. error.
This happens because the findSentence immediately calls the translations function which does not check the fallbackLocale variable and thus fails.

Versions

• Laravel: 8.75.0
• Matice: 1.1.6

Hi! Let me take a look,

[GENL]

Are you using the CDN or the NPM package ?

Npm package, newest version

[GENL]

Are you still having the same problem with this version?

I will check when I get back home 👍

Alright. Waiting...

@GENL
For the npm bundle I'm using the latest version 1.1.4, checked with npm view matice
For the composer package I'm using the latest version 1.1.7, checked with composer show genl/matice

As expected, still receiving the Locale [de] does not exist. Error because the findSentence function immediately calls the translations function which does not check the fallbackLocale variable and thus fails.

I've found a way to solve this issue for now.

Matice needs at least one translation file for any locale you want to specify. For now you can add a directory with your locale and php-file inside with the following content:

<?php
# resources/lang/de/placeholder.php
return (object) [];

This allows the fallback to work correctly. No the prettiest solution, but it works.
