## Problem The account-link / billing / Usage strings migrated to i18next in #6738 call `t("key")` with **no inline default**. When no i18next instance is initialized — which is the case in **Storybook** (the preview doesn't load the portal i18n config) — or whenever a key is missing, react-i18next renders the **raw key** (e.g. `billing.walletMeter.title`) instead of English. That's why the billing stories regressed to showing keys. ## Fix Add the English string as the `t()` default value, matching the **existing portal convention** (`AuthGate`, `Header`, `Sidebar`) and the editor: - plain → `t("key", "English")` - interpolation → `t("key", "English {{var}}", { var })` - plural → `t("key", "{{count}} …", { count })` Dynamic keys resolved via data fields carry a sibling `*Default` string passed as the default: - `LINK_INFO` badge labels → `labelDefault` (`t(info.labelKey, info.labelDefault)`) - `PdfsProcessedCard` segment legend → `labelDefault` / `descDefault` Defaults were sourced **verbatim from the merged `en-US/translation.toml`**, so the TOML stays the source of truth — the inline default only fills in when the catalogue isn't loaded or lacks the key. ## Scope All strings added in #6738: 5 account-link + 12 billing components + the Usage view (157 static call sites + the `LINK_INFO` / segment dynamic ones). No new keys; no copy changes. ## Verification - `tsc -p portal/tsconfig.json` → 0 - `eslint --max-warnings=0` (changed files) → 0 - `prettier --check` → clean - portal `vitest` → **62/62 pass** No behaviour change when i18n is initialized; Storybook and any missing-key fallback now render English.
