You are given a Nuxt/Vue single-file component (.vue). Your task is to convert every hard-coded natural-language string in the <template> into our localization system using @vintl/vintl-nuxt (which wraps FormatJS).

Please follow these rules precisely:

1. Identify translatable strings

- Scan the <template> for all user-visible strings (inner text, alt attributes, placeholders, button labels, etc.). Do not extract dynamic expressions (like {{ user.name }}) or HTML tags. Only extract static human-readable text.

2. Create message definitions

- In the <script setup> block, import `defineMessage` or `defineMessages` from `@vintl/vintl`.
- For each extracted string, define a message with a unique `id` (use a descriptive prefix based on the component path, e.g. `auth.welcome.long-title`) and a `defaultMessage` equal to the original English string.
  Example:
  const messages = defineMessages({
  welcomeTitle: { id: 'auth.welcome.title', defaultMessage: 'Welcome' },
  welcomeDescription: { id: 'auth.welcome.description', defaultMessage: 'You’re now part of the community…' },
  })

3. Handle variables and ICU formats

- Replace dynamic parts with ICU placeholders: "Hello, ${user.name}!" → `{name}` and defaultMessage: 'Hello, {name}!'
- For numbers/dates/times, use ICU/FormatJS options (e.g., currency): `{price, number, ::currency/USD}`
- For plurals/selects, use ICU: `'{count, plural, one {# message} other {# messages}}'`

4. Rich-text messages (links/markup)

- In `defaultMessage`, wrap link/markup ranges with tags, e.g.:
  "By creating an account, you agree to our <terms-link>Terms</terms-link> and <privacy-link>Privacy Policy</privacy-link>."
- Render rich-text messages with `<IntlFormatted>` from `@vintl/vintl/components` and map tags via `values`:
  <IntlFormatted
    :message="messages.tosLabel"
    :values="{
      'terms-link': (chunks) => <NuxtLink to='/terms'>{chunks}</NuxtLink>,
      'privacy-link': (chunks) => <NuxtLink to='/privacy'>{chunks}</NuxtLink>,
    }"
  />
- For simple emphasis: `'Welcome to <strong>Modrinth</strong>!'` and map `'strong': (c) => <strong>{c}</strong>`

5. Formatting in templates

- Import and use `useVIntl()`; prefer `formatMessage` for simple strings:
  `const { formatMessage } = useVIntl()`
  `<button>{{ formatMessage(messages.welcomeTitle) }}</button>`
- Vue methods like `$formatMessage`, `$formatNumber`, `$formatDate` are also available if needed.

6. Naming conventions and id stability

- Make `id`s descriptive and stable (e.g., `error.generic.default.title`). Group related messages with `defineMessages`.

7. Avoid Vue/ICU delimiter collisions

- If an ICU placeholder would end right before `}}` in a Vue template, insert a space so it becomes `} }` to avoid parsing issues.

8. Update imports and remove literals

- Ensure imports for `defineMessage`/`defineMessages`, `useVIntl`, and `<IntlFormatted>` are present. Replace all hard-coded strings with `formatMessage(...)` or `<IntlFormatted>` and remove the literals.

9. Preserve functionality

- Do not change logic, layout, reactivity, or bindings—only refactor strings into i18n.

Use existing patterns from our codebase:

- Variables/plurals: see `apps/frontend/src/pages/frog.vue`
- Rich-text link tags: see `apps/frontend/src/pages/auth/welcome.vue` and `apps/frontend/src/error.vue`

When you finish, there should be no hard-coded English strings left in the template—everything comes from `formatMessage` or `<IntlFormatted>`.
