- we use Codeberg's Weblate instance, which requires a Codeberg account. If
you have one, this is the easiest way to edit translations. You may notice that adding a new language in Weblate or in the code does not add
it to the language dropdown. This is due to the i18n needing to define the
languages for the dropdown.
To add a new language, edit the `src/i18n/translations.ts` file. Import the JSON
file with the translations and add a new entry to the `languages` mapping.
> [!IMPORTANT] For the language name, use a **capitalized autonym**. An autonym
