WalkthroughAdded Flow and TypeScript i18n utilities for composing React trees into translatable messages and decomposing translations back into React content. Added parameter and plural components, deprecated formatted message rendering, public exports, constants, and tests. ChangesInternationalized composition components
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The migration can still crash when a message has no local source, reject or mishandle valid default-message values, and choose the wrong plural translation for exact counts such as zero. These concrete correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Suggested labels: Suggested reviewers: Poem

- Around line 26-30: Update the defaultMessage prop type in FormattedCompMessage
to accept rendered JSX values by replacing React.ElementType with
React.ReactElement or React.ReactNode, while retaining string support and the
existing prop behavior.
- Around line 139-148: Update composePluralString to serialize exact-number
plural selectors =0 through =19 in deterministic order alongside the existing
named categories, preserving each configured branch’s message. Add a test
covering an exact selector, such as count={0}, to verify it is emitted and
selected instead of falling back to other.
- Around line 85-106: Update the FormattedCompMessage constructor to initialize
an empty Composition and source before the sourceElements conditional, ensuring
this.state is assigned when only id and description are provided while
preserving the existing sourceElements processing and translation lookup
behavior.
Apply the same fix in `@src/components/i18n/FormattedCompMessage.js.flow` around
lines 97 - 116: The preserved Flow twin documents the same conditional state
initialization and requires the same remediation.

Initialize state when no source is supplied.
When neither defaultMessage nor children provides source content, the constructor leaves this.state unset, but render() still destructures composition and source from it. This can throw at runtime for valid id-only usage. Initialize an empty Composition and source unconditionally, while preserving the existing plural and default-message handling.

Serialize exact-number plural selectors.
PluralProps supports =0 through =19, but composePluralString emits only named categories. An exact branch is discarded, so count={0} can select other instead.
Include =0 through =19 in deterministic order and add a test for an exact selector.
