Add a UI translation for a new language (French, German, Portuguese, …)

[sanmaxdev]

LinkForge is internationalized with JSON language files. We currently ship English (lang/en.json) and Spanish (lang/es.json) — and we'd love more languages!

This is a great first contribution: no PHP required. 🌍

How to contribute a language

1. Copy lang/en.json to lang/<locale>.json (e.g. lang/fr.json, lang/de.json, lang/pt.json).
2. Translate the ~99 string values. Keep the JSON keys exactly as they are, and leave placeholder tokens like :count / :name untouched.
3. Set APP_LOCALE=<locale> in .env, load the app, and check the UI reads naturally.
4. Open a PR titled e.g. i18n: add French translation.
