Install Windows Terminal Without Microsoft Store

If you’re familiar with LTSC versions of Windows – known for being free from bloatware and useless apps – you’ve probably noticed the absence of the Microsoft Store.

This becomes an issue when you want to use tools like WSL or Command Prompt in any form. The old, outdated, and feature-limited command prompt console can be frustrating to use.

I18n in React

We can use different libraries to have a multilingual REACT application. The most famous one is react-intl. It’s a good and well-documented package. It gives us some helper tags like FormattedMessage which helps the developer a lot. However, the problem is that you cannot use these helper tags in the attributes of other tags.
