I18n: remove TRANSLATIONS_FORMAT #11695

Closed

Description

I'm submitting a feature request

Currently we have to provide the TRANSLATIONS_FORMAT at bootstrap time. I would expect Angular to identify the format by itself, since the format is passed via the file itself (for example xlf: <xliff version="1.2" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">). I think that this is not needed and redundant, which is also my motivation for opening this issue.

By the way: Even the LOCALE_ID could be read from at least the xlf file (not sure what it looks like in xmb files). If it is not explicitely set, it could be read from the xlf file as default behaviour (from the <file> property target-language)

    Definitely something we can improve. Xtb files don't contain the target languages but other heuristics could work (extract from file name)

    Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.

    We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.

    You can find more details about the feature request process in our documentation.
