The base requirements for message formatting and localization are experiencing some significant advancements as the MessageFormat 2 spec is being defined in the Unicode Consortium, and the Intl.MessageFormat API is being defined in TC-39 for JavaScript.

Building on these, work should start on defining a localization system for HTML that's reactive rather than imperative, and which allows for localization without any JS dependency. At Mozilla, we've been using a similar system based on Fluent to localize Firefox and our other projects, and have learned much about what works and what doesn't. Some of our ideas have been collected as a draft of what this could look like in practice.
