In Bug 1806390 worker thread is able to call GetLocalizedString from a worker thread.
We need the same thing for worklets.

Hi emilo and smaug:
The patch for Bug 1806390 only fixes worker's case.
For Worklets, they don't have a sync event loop, how do worklets get the localized string off the main thread?

Can you provide some suggestions?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with how worklet event loops work. Seems it should be feasible to either add support to something like MainThreadRunnable, or alternatively making the string bundle stuff really thread-safe?

I'd rather try hard to avoid sync event loop.
In which cases do we need the localized strings? Is it for console.logging only? Could we dispatch a task to the main thread to do the logging?
