Add support for internationalization (i18n)

[baldurmen]

Hey!

Thanks for this project, it's super nice and I really like the 'offline' design.

Do you think it would be possible to add support for internationalization (i18n)? I know people who play in other languages than English and would like to be able to use this in their own language.

I'd be happy to help out with this and I can provide a French translation! I'm just not sure how you'd want to design this, so some pointers would be helpful.

hi @baldurmen. Thanks for the PRs will check them out when I get a chance.

Yesh i18n is a good idea. I've actually got that on the todo list for my job/work code, so it'd be a good thing to figure out for this project where it's a rather manageable amount of text. I'll look into it and how it might be best handled.

This looks like a fairly simple library https://airbnb.io/polyglot.js/

Downside of polyglot is it's not module enabled and uses require statements, which means there'd have to be some kind of build process to get it to work with the current module based code.

Probably the best option: https://www.i18next.com/

cheers o/

I'd would also be happy to help out to provide a German translation!

The bigger issue is actually coding up the ability to add translations and support them. I've not been playing 5e for a long time now so my motivation to do such a project is limited, though I'm happy to accept PRs for such.
