Add localization support, starting with Japanese

[Takuto1121-ja]

Search is currently English-only, and I think localization could help make the browser more approachable to users outside English-speaking communities.

Rather than treating Japanese as a special case, it might be useful to support multiple languages in a way that makes it easier to add more translations in the future.

Japanese could be the first additional language, and I'd be happy to help with the Japanese translation.

I use English software regularly, so this isn't really about making Search usable for me personally. I think localization could help Search reach more users as the project grows.

Would localization support fit the direction you want for Search?

Korean (ko-KR) would be another useful language to include. I would use Search in Korean and would be happy to help translate or review the Korean UI. A localization setup that makes it straightforward to add languages would make Korean support easier to maintain alongside Japanese.

I’m also interested in helping with Japanese localization, so I really like the idea of having a localization setup that makes it easy to add and maintain multiple languages. It would be great if Japanese and Korean could both build on the same structure.

Multilingual localization support CJK (including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean).

Thank you, and thanks to everyone offering Japanese, Korean and Chinese translations. Drice has decided not to localize Search's interface for now: it still changes every week, and each string would have to follow in every language. We'll come back to languages later, so we're closing this as a duplicate of #304.
