// components/post.jsx
import { params, count } from '@nanostores/i18n' // You can use own functions
import { useStore } from 'nanostores'
import { i18n, format } from '../stores/i18n.js'

export const messages = i18n({
  title: 'Post details',
  publishedAt: params<{ at: string }>('Was published at {date}')
  posts: count({
    one: '{count} comment',
    many: '{count} comments'
  })
})

export const Post = ({ author, comments, publishedAt }) => {
  const t = useStore(messages)
  const { time } = useStore(format)
  return <article>
    <h1>{t.title}</h1>
    <p>{t.publishedAt({ date: time(publishedAt) })}</p>
    <p>{t.comments(comments.length)}</p>
  </article>
}

// stores/i18n.js
import { createI18n, localeFrom, browser, formatter } from '@nanostores/i18n'
import availableLocales from './locales.js'
import localStoreLocale from './locale-store-locale.js'

export const locale = localeFrom(
  localStoreLocale,                        // Can be also locale from URL
  browser({ available: availableLocales }) // Browser’s locale autodetect
)

export const i18n = createI18n({
  get (locale) {
