[FEATURE] Implement Core Internationalization (i18n) Infrastructure
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The application currently only supports English and lacks internationalization capabilities. This limits accessibility for non-English speaking users and prevents expansion into international markets.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement core internationalization infrastructure:
- i18n Setup:
- Set up @nuxtjs/i18n module integration
- Create translation file structure in the project
- Implement translation key management system
- Add type safety for translation keys
- Base Language Support:
- Add English as the base language
- Structure translation files using JSON or YAML
- Include translations for all UI elements and error messages
- Language Switching:
- Add language selector in the site header
- Persist language preference in local storage
- Auto-detect user's preferred language
- Handle language switching without page reload
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Browser-based translation only
- Separate deployments for different languages
- Using a third-party translation service API
Additional context
- Will need to modify the existing UI components in
app/components/ - Should integrate with current Nuxt UI theming system
- Must maintain type safety with the existing TypeScript setup
- Will require updates to the build process in
nuxt.config.ts
