Implementation of i18n & l10n Support with Language Switcher Dropdown

Description

The application currently supports only a single language, which limits accessibility and usability for users from different regions. To improve the user experience and make the application localization-ready, implement internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) support across the application. Additionally, add a language selection dropdown that allows users to dynamically switch between supported languages without reloading the application.

Requirements

  • Set up i18n configuration in the project
  • Add localization support for UI text/content
  • Create translation files for supported languages
  • Replace hardcoded text with translation keys
  • Implement a language switcher dropdown component
  • Ensure selected language persists across sessions
  • Add fallback language handling
  • Maintain scalability for adding future languages

Expected Outcome

Users should be able to:

  • View the application in multiple languages
  • Switch languages dynamically using the dropdown
  • Experience consistent translations across the application

Acceptance Criteria

  • Language dropdown is visible and functional
  • UI updates immediately on language change
  • Translation files are properly organized
  • No hardcoded user-facing text remains
  • Fallback language works correctly
  • Language preference persists after refresh/navigation
