Changing Language

1. Log in to the admin interface
2. Go to Settings in the main menu
3. Find the Interface Language section
4. Select your preferred language from the dropdown
5. The interface will automatically reload with the new language

Love the effort you've put in here.

How did you come up with the translations, though? Which of the languages do you personally know?

[QiMa]

My native language is Chinese, and English is my second language. I also studied Japanese and French to an intermediate level, and I know a little Korean and Russian. Learning languages has always been fascinating for me because it helps me connect with different cultures.

To improve my translations and understanding, I often use Google Translate as a tool. It’s very convenient for quickly checking words or phrases in unfamiliar languages. However, I also double-check the translations, especially for context, as Google Translate doesn’t always perfectly understand subtle meanings or idioms.

Awesome stuff. I wanted to make sure you didn't use AI to translate some things. I've found it to be very wrong in the past.

I'm in the process of converting to React frontend with proper i18n support. I'll definitely use some of your principles here.

In the mean time, can I ask some more people to review and verify the PR and translations?

[QiMa]

Of course! I completely understand your concerns about using AI tools for translations since they can sometimes be inaccurate. It's always a good idea to review translations carefully to ensure quality.
It's great that you're converting your frontend to React and adding proper i18n support. I'm glad that some of the principles I shared could be helpful for your process!
As for your PR and translations, yes, it would be a good idea to have more people review and verify them. Having input from native speakers or those experienced in the languages you're working with can make the translations more accurate and reliable.
