Feature Request: Internationalization (i18n) Support

Description

We need to implement internationalization (i18n) support for the telegram summary bot to make it accessible to users who speak different languages. This feature should cover:

  1. Prompt messages and user-facing text

    • Bot responses and notifications
    • Error messages
    • Help text and instructions
    • UI elements and buttons
  2. Project documentation

    • README files
    • User guides
    • API documentation
    • Configuration instructions

Proposed Implementation

  • Set up an i18n framework (e.g., i18next, react-i18next, or similar)
  • Extract all hardcoded strings into translation files
  • Create language files for different locales (starting with common languages)
  • Update documentation to be available in multiple languages
  • Add language detection and switching functionality

Benefits

  • Makes the bot accessible to a wider international audience
  • Improves user experience for non-English speakers
  • Follows best practices for internationalization

Acceptance Criteria

  • i18n framework is properly configured
  • All user-facing strings are externalized to translation files
  • At least 2-3 language translations are implemented
  • Documentation is available in multiple languages
  • Language switching mechanism is implemented
  • Fallback to default language when translation is missing

This would be a great contribution for new contributors to get familiar with the codebase!
