The idea behind the example
This example shows a way to use lingui.js with next.js.
It adds a webpack loader for the messages to avoid having to manually compile while developing as well as adds the compile step to the next build script for production builds.
The example also uses a Higher order Component which can be added to all pages which will be translated and that checks for a ?lang query string switch the language. Next.js will dynamically load in the messages for the locale when navigating using a Next.js <Link /> component.
How to add more translated strings
To add new strings use the react component <Trans /> and then run yarn export to export the messages into locale/{language}/messages.po.
How to add another language
To add another language simply run yarn add-locale <locale ...> and it will create a new locale in the locale/messages/ directory.
