How to wait for Angular module to load?

I'm trying to use i18next (https://github.com/archer96/ng-i18next) in my Angular project, but it seems to be loading too slow. This is my setup:

angular.module('jm.i18next').config(['$i18nextProvider', function ($i18nextProvider) {
    $i18nextProvider.options = {
        lng: 'en',
        fallbackLng: 'en',
        preload: ['en'],
        supportedLngs: ['en'],
        resGetPath: '../locales/__lng__.json',
        useCookie: false,
        useLocalStorage: false,
        defaultLoadingValue: ''
    };
}]);

angular.module('myApp', ['jm.i18next']).controller('MainCtrl', ['$scope', '$i18next', function ($scope, $i18next) {
console.log($i18next("key"));

setTimeout(function() {
    console.log($i18next("key"));
  }, 1000);
}]);

I have to add a timeout to have a value. Is there a way to make sure i18next is ready when the controller is loaded?

UPDATE

I'm trying to group workouts by type, which is translated using $i18next. But this doesnt work, since the view is "ready" before the controller has done the translation.

<select ng-model="workout" ng-options="workout as workout.name group by workout.type for workout in workouts | orderBy: ['type', 'name']"></select>

$scope.workouts = [
    {id: 1, name: 'Workout 1', type: $i18next("type1")},
    {id: 25, name: 'Workout 2', type: $i18next("type2")},
  ];

You could also listen to the i18nextLanguageChange event:

$scope.$on('i18nextLanguageChange', function () {
  $scope.workouts = [
    {id: 1, name: 'Workout 1', type: $i18next("type1")},
    {id: 25, name: 'Workout 2', type: $i18next("type2")},
  ];
});

You'll have to tackle other race conditions on your own that way.

This solved my problem.

angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute', 'jm.i18next']).
        config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
            $routeProvider.
                when('/route1', {
                    title: 'Route 1',
                    templateUrl: '../views/route1.html',
                    controller: 'Route1Ctrl',
                    resolve: {
                      i18next: function ($i18next) {
                        return $i18next;
                      }
                    }
                });
    }]);
