Summary

Internationalizes the front-end with @nuxtjs/i18n and ships English and French.

  • Setup: @nuxtjs/i18n 10 with the no_prefix strategy (URLs don't change). The browser language is detected, and the user's choice is stored in the trackarr_locale cookie.
  • Language switcher: in the footer, and on the login and register pages.
  • Locale files: split by area under i18n/locales/<code>/ (app.json here, shop.json for the bonus shop in the next PR), so features can add strings without merge conflicts.
  • Coverage:
    • 735 keys, the same set in EN and FR;
    • every page, layout and component, including the whole admin and moderation UI;
    • pluralization where counts are shown;
    • dates and relative times ("5m ago" / "il y a 5 min") follow the active language.
  • Not translated on purpose:
    • admin-configured branding and homepage content (stored in the DB);
    • server error messages, which are shown as returned (only the client fallbacks are translated);
    • technical labels (IMDb, HnR, WebSocket…).

Adding a language

Add { code, language, name, files: ['<code>/app.json', '<code>/shop.json'] } to i18n.locales in nuxt.config.ts, then copy i18n/locales/en/ to i18n/locales/<code>/ and translate.

Test plan

  • Key check: every t('…') key used under app/ exists in both locales; EN and FR have identical key sets; all messages compile with @intlify/message-compiler
  • npm run build, with no i18n or intlify warnings
  • npx vitest run
  • Browse the site in FR and EN, switch language from the footer, and check the admin panels
  • Check the login and register pages with a French browser

Closes #43

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The frontend adds English and French localization through Nuxt i18n. A language selector is available in the site footer and authentication pages. Shared components and application pages use translated interface text, and several date and relative-time displays use the active locale.

Changes

Frontend localization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Locale configuration and formatting
nuxt.config.ts, package.json, i18n/locales/{en,fr}/*, app/utils/format.ts
Adds English and French locale dictionaries and configures locale detection, routing, and the default locale. Date and relative-time helpers use the active locale when i18n is available.
Shared component translations
app/components/*, app/components/admin/*
Replaces component labels, prompts, tooltips, and messages with translation lookups. Adds a locale selector and retains supplied placeholder values where described.
Public pages and navigation
app/layouts/default.vue, app/pages/auth/*, app/pages/forum/*, app/pages/index.vue, app/pages/invites.vue, app/pages/search.vue, app/pages/torrents/*, app/pages/users/*
Localizes navigation and public page text. Login and registration pages include the language selector. Date displays use the active locale in the described views.
Administration and moderation pages
app/pages/admin.vue, app/pages/admin/index.vue, app/pages/mod.vue, app/pages/mod/index.vue, app/components/admin/*
Localizes administration and moderation labels, statuses, prompts, notifications, and error fallbacks. Existing request and state behavior remains unchanged where noted.

Update the editor placeholder when the locale changes.

When a user switches languages while an empty editor remains mounted, this line leaves the placeholder in the old language. Tiptap receives the translated string when the extension is configured. Use a placeholder callback and refresh its decoration on locale changes so the visible hint follows the switcher. (tiptap.dev)
