Session 1 of 2 of the i18n rollout.
- Split i18n module into per-language files under frontend/js/i18n/ so a
translator can edit one language without touching the others.
- Add Portuguese (pt) and seed Hindi (hi). Hindi is intentionally a skeleton
-- 0 keys, full English fallback -- because we have an active Indian user
and would rather ship "no Hindi" than ship machine-quality Hindi that
could read as unprofessional or get formality/gender register wrong.
- 183 keys, 100% parity across en/es/fr/de/pt; native review still
recommended before publicizing as "fully supported".
- Add t(key, vars) variable substitution and tn(keyBase, n, vars) plural
helper for _one/_other key pairs.
- setLanguage() now triggers a CustomEvent + HashChangeEvent so the
existing hash router naturally re-renders the current view, plus a
subscriber pattern for nav labels rendered once outside the router.
- Wire t() into 3 high-traffic views end-to-end: dashboard, login,
content-library. Sidebar nav labels in app.js update on language change.
- The remaining 16 views still ship with hardcoded English; they will be
wired in session 2. The t() lookup is robust against unwired views, so
the dashboard works in 5 languages while clicking into e.g. Schedule
still shows English. No regressions.
