Is it possible to load async specific namespace during SSR (without preloading)?

[knapcp3]

Hey,
I use next-18next with i18next-http-backend and what I want to achieve is loading the specific namespace asynchronously during server-side rendering of the page in which I use this namespace. So for example I have the aboutTeamPage namespace and inside the getServerSideProps of the AboutTeam page I call:

await serverSideTranslations('pl', ['aboutTeamPage'])

And I would like to load only this namespace (make the HTTP request for it) during server-side rendering of the AboutTeam page.
The ns option from the config file is empty to prevent preloading of the namespaces.

Is it possible to achieve this? Currently, if I do this, the namespace object inside the initialI18nStore object is empty, and the i18next-http-backend plugin and request are not fired during the rendering of the page. The ready flag returned from useTranslation is true during SSR.

@adrai thanks for the response. I'm aware I can lazy load translations on the client side, but is it possible on the server side to load the namespace that hasn't been loaded initially?
From what I understand and tested, if the config ns option looks like ns: ['common'], and then I do await serverSideTranslations('pl', ['aboutTeamPage']) inside getServerSideProps, the aboutTeamPage namespace won't be fetched at all. And I was wondering if I misconfigured something or if this is the current and intended behavior.

Basically why I'm asking this and what I worry about is that if I have loads of translation data in 20 languages, fetching it all during the first render of the server-side page rendering might slow it down significantly, because the request for initial translations data is done during the request time. Although I am aware that this will be slow only for the first request since then the translations are kept in memory.

please try with v13.3.0... that should also lazy load the namespaces on server side if using a custom backend

Works like a charm, appreciate it, thank you very much
