@kopax Expo makes some changes inside RN (it even started as a fork) and they reimplement a huge part of the RN community modules (sometimes it’s just a wrapper, sometimes the code is “similar” sometimes it’s written from the ground).

I’m really not a fan of the approach too: it creates fragmentation in the RN community. We should join forces instead of having multiple ways to do the same thing.

Some users report issues with Expo. As this package is for bare react-native installs, I suggest you to use https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/localization/ instead.
