Extract

All translations can be extracted to .po file with ttag-cli tool.

import { gettext } from 'ttag';

gettext('Hello');

msgid "Hello"
msgstr ""

Suppose we have translated phrase in .po:

msgctxt "email"
msgid "Hello"
msgstr "Вітаємо"

The result js for uk locale will be

gettext('Вітаємо').
