i18n in @kbn/ui-side-navigation

The source navigation component uses @kbn/i18n and @kbn/i18n-react for internal strings (e.g. the "More" overflow label and screen-reader instructions). Consumer-facing labels like "Dashboards" or "Settings" are provided through the navigation items data structure and do not go through i18n.

How it works

At build time, webpack aliases redirect all @kbn/i18n* imports to a no-op stub (packaging/react/services/i18n.tsx). The stub's translate() function simply returns defaultMessage, so internal strings render in English.

If your application requires translated internal strings, replace the stub with your own implementation that conforms to the same API shape.
