		"description": "I have just started using the i18N localisation features, and feel that there is a sorely needed feature which is to have a default locale.\r\n\r\nI realise you can get a default value by simply using the hints, but I feel this is an inadequate solution because it means you still have to embed your default text inside your standard JS code/view files, something I am trying to avoid.\r\n\r\nWhat I propose should happen is that there should be a folder/file structure like this:\r\n/i18n/strings.xml (or possibly i18n/default/strings.xml)\r\n/i18n/en/strings.xml\r\n/i18n/es/strings.xml\r\n\r\nThen when you call L('my_key') it will default to the value in the default strings.xml if there is no match on locale.  This solution is far more elegant than the current solution where you have to pass in a hint.\r\n\r\nIn the mean time, I am building a simple workaround solution which uses JSON with a default JSON file instead.\r\n\r\nMatt",
