console.log(t`Hello world`);

const salute = (name) => t`Hello ${name}`;

select

Selects a string among the specified choices based on the value of key. The key can be either a string, a number, or a boolean. The list of choices must include "other" which is selected if none of the others match.

import {select} from '@bluecateng/l10n.macro';

const statusText = (active) => select(active, {true: 'Active', other: 'Inactive'});

plural

Selects a string among the specified choices based on the cardinal form of key. The key must be a number. The list of choices must include "other" which is selected if none of the others match. The choice keys can be either numbers, or plural keywords for the target language. An offset can be specified as the first entry in the choices.

import {plural} from '@bluecateng/l10n.macro';

const peopleCount = (count) =>
	plural(count, {offset: 1, 0: 'nobody', 1: 'you', one: 'you and one other', other: 'you and # other'});

selectOrdinal

Selects a string among the specified choices based on the ordinal form of key. The arguments for this macro must follow the same rules as the plural macro.

import {selectOrdinal} from '@bluecateng/l10n.macro';

const place = (number) => selectOrdinal(number, {one: '#st', two: '#nd', few: '#rd', other: '#th'});

number
