Vue I18n Bridge for Legacy Projects

vue-i18n-bridge is a specialized package designed to facilitate the migration of Vue 2 applications using vue-i18n v8.x (the "legacy" version) to the modern vue-i18n v9.x+ (the "next" version), which is primarily built for Vue 3. It allows developers to incrementally adopt the Composition API and new i18n features in their Vue 2 projects without a full rewrite, leveraging `@vue/composition-api` for reactivity. The bridge ensures compatibility between the global `$i18n` instance patterns from v8 and the application-level i18n instance of v9, making it a crucial tool during a phased migration. The current stable version is 9.14.1, aligning with the `vue-i18n-next` release cycle, with frequent updates addressing bugs and improving compatibility. Its key differentiator is enabling a mixed-mode i18n environment, allowing co-existence of legacy Options API components with new Composition API components using the updated i18n APIs during a transition phase.
