+***********************************************
+API Reference - Snowpack Plugin (@lingui/snowpack-plugin)
+***********************************************
+
+It's a good practice to use compiled message catalogs during development. However,
+running :cli:`compile` everytime messages are changed soon becomes tedious.
+
+``@lingui/snowpack-plugin`` is a snowpack loader, which compiles messages on the fly:
+
+Installation
+============
+
+Install ``@lingui/snowpack-plugin`` as a development dependency:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   npm install --save-dev @lingui/snowpack-plugin
+
+   # Or using yarn
+   # yarn add --dev @lingui/snowpack-plugin
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Simply add ``@lingui/snowpack-plugin`` inside your ``snowpack.config.js``:
+
+.. code-block:: js
+
+   module.exports = {
+      plugins: [
+         '@lingui/snowpack-plugin',
+      ],
+   }
+
+Then in your code all you need is to use dynamic() import. Extension is mandatory. In case of using po format, use ``.po``.
+
+.. code-block:: jsx
+
+   export async function dynamicActivate(locale: string) {
+      const { messages } = await import(`./locales/${locale}/messages.po`)
+      i18n.load(locale, messages)
+      i18n.activate(locale)
+   }
+
+See the `guide about dynamic loading catalogs <../guides/dynamic-loading-catalogs.html>`_
+for more info.
