Feature request: Reactivate Thai

[SomeTroglodyte]

Problem Description

I believe Thai can be reactivated, with the upcoming diacritics support.

Looks pretty close to how a browser renders the same.

1537 - yes that old. Last update to Thai I could find. @NoNZeeZ are you still with us after 5 years?

IOW: Remove the hardcoded exclusion from TFW (getLanguagesWithTranslationFile), add a completionPercentages.properties row so LanguagePicker finds it - and define the diacritics. Those are pure guesswork from https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0E00.pdf. Then I passed the main menu strings through machine translation so there is something to see, that's all.

Alternative Approaches

Ignore until we find a volunteer to actually maintain the translation
