 This will generate two files in your target directory:
- * `messags.js` contains your translation strings
+ * `messages.js` contains your translation strings
  * `config.js` contains your exported config values
 
+If you want to automatically split up the `messages.js` file into separate .js files for each locale, you can set the following to true in your `config/js-localization.php` config file:
+
+```
+    'split_export_files' => true,
+```
+
+This will in turn _also_ generate the following file(s) in your target directory:
+ * `lang-{locale}.js` contains one language's translation strings, if the `split_export_files` config option is set to true
+
 Remember that the files needs to be regenerated using `php artisan js-localization:export` every time any translation strings are edited, added or removed.
