Environment

• Operating System: Linux
• Node Version: v22.11.0
• Nuxt Version: 3.13.2
• CLI Version: 3.15.0
• Nitro Version: 2.9.7

Reproduction

1. Follow https://i18n.nuxtjs.org/docs/guide/lazy-load-translations as it is.
2. On running with npm run dev, you will get error:

   Internal server error: Failed to resolve import "../i18n/locales/en-US.json" from ".nuxt/i18n.options.mjs". Does the file exist?
   Plugin: vite:import-analysis
   File: /home/path/to/project/.nuxt/i18n.options.mjs:11:66

Describe the bug

From what I can see, i18n expects the translation files to be under i18n/locales directory, so moving the files from i18n to i18n/locales fixes the issue.

So just updating the example directory structure is enough. If confirmed, I'm happy to PR the fix in docs 😅 .
