Looking at react-intl, it seems to me like it is a significant step backward.
The first obvious one is the absurd number of dependencies. But more importantly, it seems to break composability:
<fbt desc="foobar">
You can read more about this very interesting topic on <a href="https://john.blog/">John's blog</a> or by consulting the <a href="https://foobar.archive/">foobar archive</a>.
</fbt>Now that would seem like you could splice and dice this, but you really can't because you don't know if the structure of the sentence will look the same in another language.
There are also no support for genders.
I'm arguably no specialist and may have missed some stuff, but as far as I can see, react-intl did happily jumped into all the traps most intl framework happily jump into and learned nothing from it.

Please apply changes to the non-extension version of App.js as well
Regarding fbt vs react-intl -- fbt is probably better. However, fbt is creating a number of dev ops issues (npm start throwing warnings, errors).
I think the best approach would be
- Remove all localization and all scripts related to localization
- Upgrade to webpack 5
- Evaluate and implement best localization software
However, I think it's okay to drop in replace fbt with react-intl for now (since it's already done in this diff). If this solves the fbt issues, it's a step in the right direction. However, I think we will still need to remove all localization and make all of the build and dev scripts as simple as possible before upgrading to webpack 5.

Without specifying what these issues are, there is no way to know it is a step in the right direction.

Good point. @alcipir please abandon this diff. We should start with no localization to simplify the dependency tree for migration to webpack 5.
