> localization is far from just translating the text

For sure, that's spot on.

What I'm excited about the most is that linguistic/cultural aspects are close to being solved by LLMs, including Gemini 2.5 that's got a huge performance boost vs the previous iteration. So, the automated approaches make more sense now, and have a chance of becoming the default, reducing i18n maintenance down to zero - and as a dev I can't be not excited about that.

P.S. fbt is great by the way, as is the team behind it. It's a shame it's archived on GitHub and isn't actively maintained anymore.
