I’m making a multi-lingual Angular application. I’m using Uppy. It would be very useful if I could set the locale programmatically and have Uppy refresh with a Uppy.setLocale() function.

I have tried the following without success.

changeUppyLocale(lang) {  
this.uppyLanguage = require(’@uppy/locales/lib/’ + lang);  
}

loaduppy() {  
this.photouppy = new Uppy(  
{  
locale: this.uppyLanguage,
