    "plugins": [
        ["skyscanner-i18n", {
            "functionName": "t",
            "dictionary": {}
        }]
    ]
}

Via Node API

require('babel-core').transform('code', {
    plugins: [
        ['skyscanner-i18n', {

            dictionary: {}
        }]
    ]
});

functionName

The name of the function that wraps the strings. Defaults to t.

leftDelimiter, rightDelimiter

The delimiter to be used for templating. Defaults to { }.

delimiter

Shorthand for when both leftDelimiter and rightDelimiter are the same. Example: @@
