July 2025: Localization reliability improvement in pinterest/mojito. Fixed a bug where internationalization (i18n) messages were incorrectly wrapped under a default key, causing localized content to display incorrectly. After dynamic import, the messages object was destructured to access correct strings, restoring proper localization across locales. Commit e806e1051a58c1eb9b1ea227d1c5e81daa3dcdd9. This work improved user experience for international users, reduced translation-related incidents, and strengthened the i18n dynamic import flow.
