== Problem
The JavaScript catalog doesn't include fallback strings in certain
scenarios. In other words: when string "A" is not translated in `es_MX`
but it is translated in `es`, the JavaScript catalog contains the default
or untranslated "A" string.
I set up an app that demonstrates this problem:
https://github.com/cmermingas/i18n_test
I believe that this is an issue but I asked in StackOverflow, in case it's
improper use: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73086306/strings-from-
default-locale-missing-from-django-javascript-catalog
== Setup
* `LOCALE_PATHS` set to `PROJECT_ROOT/locale`.
* Translations for all apps stored under `LOCALE_PATHS`.
* `JavaScriptCatalog` configured without packages:
{{{
path('jsi18n/', JavaScriptCatalog.as_view(), name='javascript-catalog')
}}}
* `es_MX` and `es` translations that demonstrate the problem:
* The string `"es - Not translated"` is translated in the `es` locale.
* The string `"es_MX - Not translated"` is translated in the `es_MX`
locale.
== Workaround
This works if I pass `packages` to `JavaScriptCatalog`:
{{{
path(
'jsi18n/',
JavaScriptCatalog.as_view(packages=["testapp"]),
name='javascript-catalog'
)
}}}
But this is not required, is it?
