How to reference built-in strings in built internationalization?

[phuctm97]

Cloudscape supports built-in internationalization https://cloudscape.design/get-started/dev-guides/internationalization

But how do I use these built-in strings in custom components?

Hi @phuctm97
thanks for reaching out,
we currently do not fully support built-in internationalization for custom components.

Should I create a PR for that? It seems like someone can just export the internal function and it's available for custom components? I can implement my own i18n but it's a waste to have duplicated strings.

@phuctm97 this isn't a matter of implementing this functionality, but a deliberate design decision. Built-in strings were created for the specific context, we can update them because we know that they used only in that context.
For custom components we recommend to create duplicates.
