Ships first-pass AI translations for six locales on top of the existing
English base, plus a simple JSON-per-locale contributor workflow so new
languages can land as a single PR.
- 518 keys translated per locale (proper nouns / brand names / format-
only strings left to fall back to English by design — see the
"Non-blocking (intentional verbatim)" section of scarf/docs/I18N.md).
- Per-locale source-of-truth lives in tools/translations/<locale>.json;
tools/merge-translations.py writes them into Localizable.xcstrings
and is idempotent (re-runnable as translators iterate).
- InfoPlist.xcstrings (macOS microphone permission prompt) translated
for all six locales.
- knownRegions expanded: zh-Hans, de, fr now join by es, ja, pt-BR.
- CONTRIBUTING.md gains an "Adding a Language" section documenting the
fork → JSON → merge → PR flow. Native-speaker reviews welcome.
Closes#13 (the original ask: Simplified Chinese support).
