useLocaleHead doesn't change or its not reactive from 8.0.1 version.

I have this in my app.vue file

after upgrading to 8.0.1 or anything else above from 8.0.0 version, the lang and dir attribute is not getting updated when i set locale from useI18n() unless I change page.

I read the docs and change logs but not sure if am I missing something or not

Here is the reproduction:
version 8.1.0

version 8.0.1

version 8.0.0

Can confirm this, yesterday fixed this issue of useLocaleHead not being reactive, in one of my friend's projects. He was using "@nuxtjs/i18n": "^8.1.0"

and when i downgraded to "@nuxtjs/i18n": "^8.0.0".
the issue got fixed.

That's all i can provide for now, i shouldn't share his project here without his permission, i might provide minimal reproduction if somehow i got time for it.

but thankfully maintainers might come across this and check the OP's reproduction.

Based on this: #2771
In order to set locale, we have to import and use setLocale() instead of locale
