January 2025: Delivered two major features for navikt/pensjonsbrev, focusing on accuracy, robustness, and multilingual usability. Pension calculation improvements fetch the latest foreldreloessats from the most recent calculation period and tighten number formatting to ensure correct display of pension benefits. Updated the data model to make harForeldreloessats non-nullable, aligning with requester data from Gjenny. Added multilingual support for appeal templates (Nynorsk and English), refactoring contact information and introducing constants for appeal types and related URLs to enhance internationalization and maintainability. These changes lay groundwork for improved user trust, regulatory compliance, and a more scalable codebase. Implemented via three commits across two features.

Delivered multilingual explanations for scenarios where there is a remaining balance (restanse) but utbetalt beløp is zero, clarifying how such cases are handled in final settlements. This enhancement demonstrates proficiency in internationalization and UX messaging, and directly supports user comprehension across languages. No major bugs fixed this month.
