Description

There's currently no way to i18n messages that get rendered from the front-end javascript. We need to find a way to use our existing i18n architecture from the JS.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing i18n architecture and identifying where front-end JavaScript messages are rendered. The work is done when those messages can use the existing i18n system; the issue does not name specific files or tests to run.
