Note 📝

By default, json-i18n-gt stores translations in a JSON file (translations.json) located within the node_modules/json-i18n-gt/assets directory. Since node_modules is typically ignored by Git via .gitignore, it's important to include the translations file in version control manually.

Adding translations.json to .gitignore

To ensure that translations.json is included in version control, add the following line to your project's .gitignore file:

!node_modules/json-i18n-gt/assets/translations.json

This problem will be solved in future updates.
