perf: replace dynamic imports with fs.readFile for i18n and md content#17589
Merged
Conversation
Reduce webpack memory consumption during build by using direct filesystem reads instead of dynamic imports for translation JSON files and markdown content. This prevents webpack from creating chunks for thousands of potential import paths (60+ locales × 50 namespaces + 4000+ md files).

Summary
import()withfs/promises.readFile()for loading translation JSON files and markdown contentMotivation
The build was exceeding memory limits on Netlify after recent i18n imports added translations for Bengali, Polish, Urdu, Ukrainian, German, Marathi, and Turkish.
Root cause: Dynamic imports like
await import(.../${locale}/${ns}.json)force webpack to analyze and create chunks for all possible paths at build time:Solution: Use
fs.readFile()which is a runtime operation, bypassing webpack's module resolution entirely.Test plan
