I was playing with Angular's localization @angular/localize and after configuring it to translate the app to different language I tried to serve the default version of it using 'ng serve' but I get this error:
An unhandled exception occurred: The development server only supports localizing a single locale per build.
I tried it with different port based on this: How to serve different Angular locales during development using ng serve? but to no avail.
For the translated version everything works using 'ng serve --configuration=fr'. Builds work correctly creating 'en-US' and 'fr' folders in dist/App folder.
When I removed the inlineLocales.size condition in dev-server everything worked fine, no errors:
if (i18n.shouldInline && tsConfig.options.enableIvy !== false) {
//if (i18n.inlineLocales.size > 1) {
// throw new Error('The development server only supports localizing a single locale per build');
//}
await setupLocalize(i18n, browserOptions, webpackConfig);
}
So it may be Angular-devkit issue.
I tried to work around by creating new "en-US" locale but got this error:
An unhandled exception occurred: An i18n locale ('en-US') cannot both be a source locale and provide a translation.
After using just 'en' instead of 'en-US' and creating new translation file with <source>
and <target>
translation being the same it works using 'ng serve --configuration=en' but it looks like a wrong solution.

How to reproduce:
The app is generated using Angular CLI 10.0.0 and Angular 10.0.1 and then adding @angular/localize by 'ng add @angular/localize'. In app.component.html is single <h1 i18n="@@app.h1">Hello</h1>
. Using the angular.json above.
In "options", you must set "localize" to false:
"architect": {
"build": {
"builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
"options": {
"localize": false,
and build again:
ng build
