have you tried reloading the page? it seems like a cobalt update wasn’t complete, because raw localization strings shouldn’t appear. i can’t replicate the issue with my links and you didn’t provide any links to test, so i’m closing this issue. lmk if it still happens and i’ll reopen it, but please provide more info
