# @lingui/message-utils

> Low-level Lingui utilities to compile ICU MessageFormat messages and generate stable message IDs

`@lingui/message-utils` is part of [Lingui][documentation]. Lingui is a lightweight, open-source internationalization (i18n) library for JavaScript and TypeScript. It brings compile-time macros and a CLI for message extraction to React, React Native, Vue, SolidJS, Astro, Svelte, and Node.js.

**Internal package.** `@lingui/message-utils` is used by the Lingui CLI, plugins and runtime to compile ICU MessageFormat messages and to generate message IDs. Application code does not need it.
