+### react-aria's own strings
+
+Separately from all of the above, react-aria has built-in strings of its own —
+stepper button labels, the toast region's landmark label, hidden dismiss
+buttons, listbox and selection announcements — and translates them from
+catalogs it bundles, nothing to do with react-intl. `SharedUIProvider` hands it
+the app's locale so the two agree.

+It covers 32 locales. Of ours, ca, cy and ga-IE (and the `lol` pseudo-locale)
+are not among them and fall back to English; the rest resolve, including where
+our id is less specific than react-aria's (`fr` finds its fr-FR). There is no
+supported way to supply translations for the locales it misses, so where one of
+its strings matters we pass our own text in as a label instead.
