Internationalization for Next.js.

## Features

Internationalization (i18n) is an essential part of the user experience, therefore `next-intl` gives you all the parts you need to get language nuances right.

- 🌟 **ICU message syntax**: Localize your messages with interpolation, cardinal & ordinal plurals, enum-based label selection and rich text.
- 📅 **Dates, times & numbers**: Apply appropriate formatting without worrying about server/client differences like time zones.
- ✅ **Type-safe**: Speed up development with autocompletion for message keys and catch typos early with compile-time checks.
- 💡 **Hooks-based API**: Learn a single API that can be used across your code base to turn translations into plain strings or rich text.
- 🚀 **Next.js-native and performance-obsessed**: App Router, Server Components, static rendering—pick the right tool for the right job, next-intl works everywhere.
- 🌍 **Internationalized routing**: Provide unique pathnames per language and optionally localize pathnames for search engine optimization.

## What does it look like?

```jsx
// UserProfile.tsx
import {useTranslations} from 'next-intl';

export default function UserProfile({user}) {
  const t = useTranslations('UserProfile');

  return (
    <section>
      <h1>{t('title', {firstName: user.firstName})}</h1>
      <p>{t('membership', {memberSince: user.memberSince})}</p>
      <p>{t('followers', {count: user.numFollowers})}</p>
    </section>
  );
}
```

```js
// en.json
{
  "UserProfile": {
    "title": "{firstName}'s profile",
    "membership": "Member since {memberSince, date, short}",
    "followers": "{count, plural, ↵
                    =0 {No followers yet} ↵
                    =1 {One follower} ↵
                    other {# followers} ↵
                  }"
  }
}
```
