Description

Would be great to have a possibilty to translate the screen reader message, e.g. "list item 1 of 10", or "no results found" in order to support users that don't speak English

Research direction
First, examine the current ARIA live region messages in the awesomplete.js source code to understand where strings like 'list item 1 of 10' and 'no results found' are defined. Then, design a configuration option (e.g., an `i18n` object) that allows users to override these strings. The implementation should preserve existing behavior when no custom strings are provided. Consider how to handle dynamic parts like the item index. Review any comments in the issue for further clarification.
