Can't determine if i18next has been initialized post initialization.

I am currently trying to determine if i18next has been initialized asynchronously prior to requesting translations.

For example:

i18next.init();

setTimeout(function () {
    i18next.on('initialized', function () {
        console.log('may not run?');
    }
}, 500);

This is had originally been implemented in #380, but was removed during the 2.0.0 rewrite.

Is there a way to detect if i18next is already initialized?

Personally I would prefer if the callback in i18next.on('initialized', callback) was run immediately if i18next has already been initialized.

I ended up doing something like this:

if(!i18next.isInitialized) {
    // wait for initalization
    i18next.on('initialized', mycodefunc);
} else {
    mycode();
}

the options can be found on i18next.options

// second init i like to be sure is done:
i18next.init({ second: true });

// check
i18next.on('initialized', () => {
  if (i18next.options && i18next.options.second) {
    // seems 2nd init was done
  }
});
