defaultLocale no effect

PHP 7.4.28, CodeIgniter 4.1.9 fresh instalation.

Copy "es" folder from languages zip to "app/Language" and change "app/Config/App.php" that way:

PHP Code:

public $defaultLocale = 'es';
public $negotiateLocale = false;
public $supportedLocales = ['es', 'en'];
public $appTimezone = 'Europe/Madrid'; 


In browser go to URL + "añslkjfañ", and see 404 error page translated.

The exact same thing with CodeIgniter 4.2.1 and 404 error page is still in english and no way to see it translated.

Bug? Missconfiguratión? I forget something to do in new version?

No new autoroutes enabled, I just upload zip file and set "writable" folder writable, nothing else just the changes related to language en "app/Config/App.php" so easily replicable.

Thanks for your time.

It seems a bug.

Try spark command:

Code:

$ php spark x

If the lang files are correctly installed and configured,
you can see a translated error message.

Thanks for your answer kenjis.

Indeed if I run:

PHP Code:

$ php spark x 


I see the error message translated. Is it a bug so?

The bug was fixed in develop branch, and it will be included in v4.2.2.

In development environment, the error message is hard coded. So you can't translate it.
