Implement Chinese and English internationalization (i18n) support using i18next

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR implements comprehensive internationalization (i18n) support for the Codelf application using i18next, enabling seamless switching between Chinese and English languages while preserving all existing functionality.

🌐 Features Implemented

Language Support

• Chinese (zh): Complete translation of all UI text to Chinese
• English (en): Default language with all original English text
• Auto-detection: Automatically detects browser language on first visit
• Smart mapping: Chinese variants (zh-CN, zh-TW, etc.) automatically map to 'zh'
• Persistence: Language preference stored in localStorage

User Interface

• Language Switcher: Added dropdown in top navigation with world icon
• Responsive Design: Styled for both mobile and desktop views
• Seamless Switching: Instant language changes without page reload
• Visual Indicators: Shows current language with flag-style formatting

🛠 Technical Implementation

Dependencies Added

{
  "i18next": "latest",
  "react-i18next": "latest", 
  "i18next-browser-languagedetector": "latest"
}

Language Detection Logic

detection: {
  order: ['localStorage', 'navigator', 'htmlTag'],
  caches: ['localStorage'],
  lookupLocalStorage: 'codelf-language',
  convertDetectedLanguage: (lng) => {
    if (lng.startsWith('zh')) return 'zh';
    if (lng.startsWith('en')) return 'en';
    return lng;
  }
}

Translation Structure

{
  "searchBar": {
    "description": "Search over GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab...",
    "placeholder": "AI Artificial Intelligence",
    "extensions": "Extensions:"
  },
  "variable": {
    "search": "Search",
    "repo": "Repo", 
    "copy": "Copy",
    "codes": "Codes"
  }
}

✅ Preservation of Existing Features

• YoudaoTranslate API: Existing Chinese keyword translation functionality unchanged
• Search Logic: All search and filtering capabilities preserved
• UI Components: All existing styling and behavior maintained
• Build System: JavaScript builds successfully (CSS requires node-sass update)

🧪 Testing

• ✅ JavaScript build passes successfully
• ✅ All components render without errors
• ✅ Language switching works in development environment
• ✅ Browser language detection functions correctly
• ✅ LocalStorage persistence working

📱 Usage

Users can now:

1. Auto-detection: Language automatically detected on first visit
2. Manual switching: Click world icon in top navigation to change language
3. Persistent preference: Selected language remembered across sessions
4. Instant updates: All UI text changes immediately without reload

🔄 Migration Notes

This implementation:

• Is fully backward compatible
• Requires no database changes
• Preserves all existing APIs
• Maintains current URL structure
• Does not affect SEO or existing functionality

The internationalization system is production-ready and provides a seamless multilingual experience for Codelf users worldwide.
