Externalises all user-facing strings into JSON translation files and
wires them through a lightweight i18n module — no new runtime dependency.
Changes:
- i18n.py: new module — loads translations/*, detects language from
RECLIP_LANG env var > Accept-Language header > fallback "en"
- translations/en.json: full English string catalogue (40 keys)
- translations/fr.json: complete French translation
- app.py: error messages now go through t() per-request; passes
t and strings to render_template for Jinja2 and window.i18n
- templates/index.html: all hardcoded strings replaced with
{{ t('key') }} (HTML) and i18n['key'] (JavaScript)
- README.md: new Internationalisation section — how it works,
how to add a language, how to set the active language
To add a new language: copy translations/en.json to
translations/<code>.json and translate the values.
To activate: set RECLIP_LANG=<code> or rely on Accept-Language.

This PR adds a lightweight internationalization layer and externalizes all user-facing strings into translation files.
English remains the default/fallback language. French is provided as the first additional translation and can be activated via RECLIP_LANG or Accept-Language detection.
What changed
i18n.pymodule to load translations and resolve the active languagetranslations/en.jsonas the default string catalogtranslations/fr.jsonas the first complete translationLanguage selection
The active language can be set with
RECLIP_LANG=<code>.If not set, the app falls back to the
Accept-Languageheader and then to English.Why
This makes the project easier to translate and allows additional languages to be added without changing application logic.
Adding a new language
To add another language, copy
translations/en.jsontotranslations/<code>.jsonand translate the values.
