Adds end-to-end internationalization to the React UI with five seed
languages (English, Italian, Spanish, German, Simplified Chinese) and
a sidebar-footer language switcher next to the existing theme toggle.
Library: react-i18next + i18next + i18next-http-backend +
i18next-browser-languagedetector. The detector caches the user's
choice in localStorage (key `localai-language`, mirroring the existing
`localai-theme` convention) and updates the `<html lang>` attribute on
change. fallbackLng is `en`, so any missing translation in another
locale falls back transparently.
Translation files live under `public/locales/<lng>/<ns>.json`. They
ride along with the existing `//go:embed react-ui/dist/*` directive,
but the previous SPA route in core/http/app.go only exposed
`/assets/*` from the embedded React build. This commit generalizes
the asset handler into a `serveReactSubdir(subdir)` helper and adds a
matching `/locales/*` route so i18next-http-backend can fetch the
JSONs at runtime. The http-backend `loadPath` is built via the
existing `apiUrl()` helper so instances served under a sub-path (e.g.
`<base href="/ui/">`) resolve correctly.
Namespaces (13): common, nav, errors, auth, home, models, importModel,
chat, agents, skills, collections, media, admin. Translated UI surfaces
include the sidebar/header/footer chrome, login + account flows, the
Home dashboard (incl. the manage-by-chat assistant CTA), the model
gallery + import flow, the chat experience (Chat.jsx + ChatsMenu),
agents/skills/collections list pages, the studio media tabs (Image,
Video, TTS), and the admin page-headers (Settings incl. its section
nav, Manage, Backends, Traces, Nodes, P2P, Users, Usage). Shared
components (ConfirmDialog, Toast) take their default labels from the
common namespace so callers don't need to pass strings explicitly.
Tooling for incremental adoption is included:
- `i18next-parser.config.js` + `npm run i18n:extract` to sweep `t()`
keys into the JSON skeletons.
- `scripts/translate-locales.mjs` (one-off helper) to bootstrap
non-English locales from English source via OpenAI or Anthropic
APIs, with --copy mode as a placeholder fallback. Idempotent;
preserves existing translations unless --overwrite is passed.
Larger config-driven pages (ModelEditor, Settings deep field forms,
AgentChat/AgentCreate, SkillEdit, CollectionDetails, Talk, Sound,
biometrics, FineTune/Quantize, Users modals, Nodes/P2P install
pickers, BackendLogs, Traces deep filters, Explorer) intentionally
keep their inner content untranslated for now — they fall back to
English via fallbackLng so functionality is unaffected, and the
extracted-strings pattern + the bootstrap script make follow-up
extraction straightforward.
The initial Suspense fallback at the root in main.jsx covers the
first JSON fetch on cold load. A simple `.app-boot-spinner` styled
in App.css provides a non-empty paint while the first namespace
loads.
