## Key features
- Uses ES6 template literals for string formatting (no need for sprintf).
- Contexts [support](https://ttag.js.org/docs/context.html)
- It can precompile translations on a build step.
- Plurals support [ngettext](https://ttag.js.org/docs/ngettext.html).
- It can be integrated in any build tool that works with babel.
- Has a builtin [validation](https://ttag.js.org/docs/translations-validation.html) for translated strings format.
- It can use any default locale in sources (not only English).
- Handles [React (jsx) translations](https://ttag.js.org/docs/jsx-gettext.html).
- Can be easily integrated with Create React App. [CRA doc](https://ttag.js.org/docs/create-react-app.html)
## Usage example
```js
import { t, ngettext, msgid } from 'ttag';
// formatted strings
const name = 'Mike';
const helloMike = t`Hello ${name}`;
// plurals (works for en locale out of the box)
const n = 5;
const msg = ngettext(msgid`${n} task left`, `${n} tasks left`, n);
```
