+For convenience `translate` can be imported directly in JavaScript files for cases where you need the translations from `translations.json` outside of `vue-gettext` (see [#113](https://github.com/Polyconseil/vue-gettext/pull/113)):

+import {translate} from 'vue-gettext';

 If you are using a template language, i.e. [Pug.js](https://pugjs.org/api/getting-started.html) in [Single File Component](https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/single-file-components.html) within a webpack setup (using vue-loader), have a look at [vue-webpack-gettext](https://github.com/kennyki/vue-webpack-gettext).
