[WIP] Enhanced Localization Support and Infrastructure Improvements Overview

[TanyaaCJain]

This PR introduces significant enhancements to the localization framework of our application, adding support for multiple new languages and improving the underlying architecture to facilitate easier future expansions. Additionally, we've streamlined the translation management system to improve both developer and user experiences.

Details

• Localization Files: Added German (de.json) and Hindi (hi.json) localization files, and updated existing English (en.json) and Korean (ko.json) files to include new translation strings such as signout. Infrastructure Updates:
• Updated i18n.tsx to incorporate the new languages into our system, making our application more accessible to a broader audience.
• Refined the structure of our translation provider components, migrating from translationProvider.tsx to translator/provider.tsx for better clarity and maintenance.
• Added new Footer component to layout.tsx and page.tsx to enhance the layout with language selection functionality directly accessible from the footer of the page.

Impacts

• User Experience: By expanding the number of languages supported, we can cater to a wider user base, enhancing the accessibility and usability of our application globally.
  • Development Efficiency: The restructured translation architecture simplifies further language additions and modifications, streamlining the workflow for developers.

Testing

• Conducted thorough testing to ensure all new language files work seamlessly across different parts of the application.
• Verified that the new footer component functions correctly across all pages, providing consistent user interactions.

How to Test

Language Switching: Navigate through various pages to test the language switching functionality. New Translations: Check new translations in action by switching the application language to German or Hindi and verify the UI reflects the changes accurately.

This update is a step forward in making our application globally accessible and improving the maintainability of our localization infrastructure. Your review and feedback on this implementation would be greatly appreciated.
