I have a (RAD) application which supports two languages (German and Italian).
All the translations are provided by the server

Now when I initialize the application in the default language (:de) the client doesn't have any localized strings and it does not download the translations. When I switch the language to :it the localized Italian texts are downloaded. I wan't to initialize the app with the freshly downloaded localized strings from the server but I don't know if I am missing something.

I have followed every step. The only step I didn't understand was the step mentioned here:

Your Root UI component MUST query for ::i18n/current-locale and should also set the initial locale in application state. The shared-fn extracts denormalized data from your UI root’s props. This also sets the "default" locale of your application.

Now I am not sure. Is this explained in the next step?

I've tried to leave out the :translations key from the line:

::i18n/current-locale (comp/get-initial-state i18n/Locale {:locale :de :translations {}})

::i18n/current-locale (comp/get-initial-state i18n/Locale {:locale :de})

This at least downloads the translations when I switch from :it back to :de again. If I provide a :translations map nothing will ever be translated to :de.

What also works is to set the :locale to :en. So that when i change the locale the translation get's downloaded. But thats not acceptable from a UX perspective.

I am sure I am missing something. I've also tried to execute the (i18n/change-locale {:locale :de}) when I start the application (in the init function), but it didn't work.

Sorry, I am very new to the whole Fulcro (RAD) development experience so I may be making a very very silly mistake!
