"inner": "value"
},
"keyNesting": "reuse $t(keyDeep.inner)",
"keyInterpolate": "replace this {{value}}",
"keyInterpolateUnescaped": "replace this {{- value}}",
"keyInterpolateWithFormatting": "replace this {{value, format}}",

"keyPluralMultipleEgArabic_zero": "the plural form 0",
"keyPluralMultipleEgArabic_one": "the plural form 1",
"keyPluralMultipleEgArabic_two": "the plural form 2",
"keyPluralMultipleEgArabic_few": "the plural form 3",
"keyPluralMultipleEgArabic_many": "the plural form 4",
"keyPluralMultipleEgArabic_other": "the plural form 5",
"keyWithArrayValue": ["multipe", "things"],
"keyWithObjectValue": { "valueA": "return this with valueB", "valueB": "more text" }

Important: Plural forms change a fair bit between version 1, 2, 3 and 4. In order to best detect i18next files it is recommended that you to add a comment at the top of your language file saying: "//": "i18next".
For instance, in order to use i18next v4, please add "//": "i18next v4".
