Research direction

Start by reading the dashboard frontend and the settings or user-profile areas where UI strings and a language switcher would live. Evaluate next-intl and react-i18next, then map the hardcoded English strings into locale resources. The work is done when the framework is integrated, English and pt-BR resources are available, and users can switch languages without breaking dashboard layouts.

Description

enhancement
What problem will this feature address?

The Dokploy dashboard currently has all UI strings hardcoded in English, which creates a barrier for non-English speaking developers and DevOps teams, particularly in Brazil and Latin America where Dokploy's community is rapidly growing.

Describe the solution you'd like
  1. Introduce an internationalization (i18n) framework into the dashboard frontend (such as next-intl or react-i18next).
  2. Add Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR) as one of the official languages alongside English.
  3. Allow language switching in the dashboard settings or user profile.
Describe alternatives you've considered

Using browser-level auto-translation (like Google Chrome translation), which often breaks technical DevOps terminology and layout styling.

Additional context

The Brazilian community would love to contribute with translations and maintain the pt-BR locale dictionary once the i18n structure is integrated into the codebase.
