Description
A recent PR in the react-native-localize package (migrating the module to the new architecture) removed Windows support from the module.
See author note on reasoning:
"I removed windows support in react-native-localize v3 as https://github.com/namrog84 (who wrote the PR to adds it - and is the maintainer of this part, as I don't have a windows computer and cannot debug / review this) doesn't work on RN anymore
I already sent a message in this channel, got not response. Can someone work on migrating v2 windows module part to v3? https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-localize/pull/216"
Filing issue to track work to re-add Windows support for this module.

Research direction
Start by reading PR #216 and the v2 Windows module it replaced, then trace how the module was migrated to React Native's new architecture. Re-add the Windows implementation while preserving the v3 architecture, and verify that react-native-localize supports Windows again.
