Is it possible to add suffix as regex in $translateProvider.useStaticFilesLoader in AngularJS Translation?

Question

In AngularJS translation config can we have $translateProvider.useStaticFilesLoader suffix property as an regex.

Lets say below is a sample config :

$translateProvider.useSanitizeValueStrategy('sanitize');
        $translateProvider.useStaticFilesLoader({
            files: [{
                prefix: 'i18n/local-',
                suffix: '.json'
            }]
        });
        $translateProvider
            .preferredLanguage("en");

Instead suffix to be '.json', is it possible to make it as

$translateProvider.useSanitizeValueStrategy('sanitize');
            $translateProvider.useStaticFilesLoader({
                files: [{
                    prefix: 'i18n/local-',
                   suffix: '-[0-9a-f]{8,10}-?.json'
                }]
            });
            $translateProvider
                .preferredLanguage("en");

Thanks.

No it's not and it is easy to understand why, $translate need to be able to build the exact url of your file. So if you start with :

  prefix: 'i18n/local-',
  suffix: '.json'

The url for en will be il8n/local-en.json.

If you use a regex as a suffix, how can he build the full URL of the file ? It just can't.

EDIT :

The OP goal was to trick the cache : here is the solution given :

prefix: 'i18n/local-', suffix: '.json?random='+generateRandomString()
