Hi everyone!!!

 questions: [
'question 1',

How i can do to get questions size (number of indexes) in index.js to asingation??

i tried

 const quizSize = 'questions'.length

Remove the quotes:

const quizSize = questions.length;

With the quotes, you're getting the length of the string 'questions' as you've found.

Where did VAL_REL come from ? In your first post the variable was named questions.

Where have you defined VAL_REL in your code ?

I got it!!! it was only necessary to implement the following function to retrieve the array as an object and then obtain its size.

in index.js:

function r(template) {
  return i18n.t(template, { returnObjects: true });
}


To get the array size:

quizSize = r('questions').length;
