In my case I get rollup error, some json could not parsed

Nuxt build error: RollupError: [vite:json] [plugin vite:json] ../q-core/i18n/locales/de.json: Failed to parse JSON file.

its utf-8, no bom.
Is it my issue, or some third pary stuff?

NOTE:
If i build in CI, i get the error above, if I build locally, I also get the same RollupError but

[plugin nuxt:module-preload-polyfill] Sourcemap is likely to be incorrect: a plugin (nuxt:module-preload-polyfill) was used to transform files, but didn't generate a sourcemap for the transformation.
