WordCraft's interface can now be shown in Simplified Chinese, Traditional
Chinese or Japanese as well as English. The new `language` setting is
`auto` by default: the UI follows the operating system's preferred
languages (Windows display language, macOS preferred languages,
LANG/LC_* on Unix, via sys-locale; WORDCRAFT_LANGUAGE overrides) when
there is a catalog for one of them, and English otherwise. File > Options
> Interface language picks one by hand, and the `ui.language` command does
the same for scripts and agents. The setting persists with the other UI
preferences.
The i18n module is PdfCraft's (catalog format, parser, locale matching),
trimmed to plain entries. English strings in the code are the keys; the
ribbon helpers (group, big, small, split, menu_button, menu items,
tooltips and ribbon locations), tabs, Backstage, Options, dialogs, panes,
the status bar, the context menu and command search translate at draw
time. Command ids, documents, the CLI, MCP and the control channel stay
English. Catalogs hold ~780 entries per language, written clean-room from
the English meaning.
Chinese interfaces put the craft-fonts Chinese face before the Japanese
one so a line never mixes glyph styles; fonts are reinstalled when the
language changes.
Fixes#8.
