Feature Request: i18n / Multi-language Support

Problem

Lanes currently only supports English, which creates a barrier for non-English speaking developers. Chinese developers using the app have to navigate an entirely English UI.

Proposed Solution

Add i18n (internationalization) support to Lanes, allowing users to switch the UI language. As a starting point, support for Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) would be greatly appreciated.

Benefits

  • Broadens the potential user base significantly
  • Makes Lanes more accessible to developers worldwide
  • Many similar tools (VS Code, etc.) already support this

Technical Suggestion

The app uses React 19, so libraries like react-i18next or react-intl could be integrated. UI strings could be extracted into JSON/YAML locale files.

Target Languages (suggestion)

  1. Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) — high priority
  2. Japanese (ja)
  3. Korean (ko)
  4. Other languages based on community contributions

Thanks for considering! Love the product 🚀
