Just simple content

Hello {name}, you have {count} unread message(s). Go to messages.

{t('simpleContent')}

Hello {{name}}, you have {{count}} unread message. Go to messages. ... ``` Head over to the **interactive playground** at [codesandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/1zxox032q). ### 📖 What others say - [How to properly internationalize a React application using i18next](https://locize.com/blog/react-i18next/) by Adriano Raiano - [I18n with React and i18next](https://alligator.io/react/i18n-with-react-and-i18next) via Alligator.io by Danny Hurlburt - [Ultimate Localization of React (Mobx) App with i18next](https://itnext.io/ultimate-localization-of-react-mobx-app-with-i18next-efab77712149) via itnext.io by Viktor Shevchenko - [Internationalization for react done right Using the i18next i18n ecosystem](https://reactjsexample.com/internationalization-for-react-done-right-using-the-i18next-i18n-ecosystem/) via reactjsexample.com - [How to translate React application with react-i18next](https://codetain.com/blog/how-to-translate-react-application-with-react-i18next/) via codetain.co by Norbert Suski - [Building i18n with Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/blog/2017-10-17-building-i18n-with-gatsby/) via gatsbyjs.org by Samuel Goudie - [Get your react.js application translated with style](https://medium.com/@jamuhl/get-your-react-js-application-translated-with-style-4ad090aefc2c) by Jan Mühlemann - [Translate your expo.io / react-native mobile application](https://medium.com/@jamuhl/translate-your-expo-io-react-native-mobile-application-aa220b2362d2) by Jan Mühlemann - You're welcome to share your story... ### Why i18next? - **Simplicity:** no need to change your webpack configuration or add additional babel transpilers, just use create-react-app and go. - **Production ready** we know there are more needs for production than just doing i18n on the clientside, so we offer wider support on [serverside](https://www.i18next.com/overview/supported-frameworks) too (nodejs, php, ruby, .net, ...). **Learn once - translate everywhere**. - **Beyond i18n** comes with [locize](https://locize.com) bridging the gap between development and translations - covering the whole translation process. ![ecosystem](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/i18next/i18next/master/assets/i18next-ecosystem.jpg) ### Localization workflow Want to learn more about how seamless your internationalization and translation process can be?
