Support internationalization #28

Description

Describe the problem

Arduino has a global community who speak many languages. Arduino IDE 2.0.0 currently only provides English language support.

Expected behavior

In order to make Arduino as accessible as possible, it would be beneficial to provide internationalization (i18n) support.

The classic Arduino IDE and Arduino CLI are currently using the Transifex translation platform, and this has enabled amazing community volunteers to provide high quality translations to 83 languages! This system seems to be working well, so it should be considered for Arduino IDE 2.0.0 as well.

If possible, existing translations for strings shared between the classic Arduino IDE and Arduino IDE 2.0.0 should be reused.

Operating system

All

Operating system version

Any

Additional context

Arduino CLI already has internationalization support (arduino/arduino-cli#676) and the strings originating from Arduino CLI should be translated there so that they can benefit every tool using Arduino CLI.
