### Repro steps

please wait...


* run ng xi18n
* the 'please wait' does not popup in the gererated .xlf files
* run ng build ng build -prod --aot --output-path=dist/de --base-href /de/ --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.de.xlf --i18n-format=xlf --locale=de;

Research direction

Start with the index.html example containing the i18n marker, then run ng xi18n and the reported ng build command to reproduce the missing entry and untranslated output. Trace how the generated .xlf files and build output are produced; done means the index.html text appears in the translation file and translated text is filled into the built index.html.
