# no-single-variables-to-translate
> [!TIP]
> This rule is included into the `lingui/recommended` config
Doesn't allow single variables without text to translate like `{variable}` or `` t`${variable}` ``
Such expression would pollute message catalog with useless string which has nothing to translate.
Examples of invalid code with this rule:
```jsx
// invalid ⛔️
;{user}
t`${user}`
msg`${user}`
```
Examples of valid code with this rule:
```jsx
// valid ✅
;Hello {user}
t`Hello ${user}`
msg`Hello ${user}`
```
