Description

Right now ripmes UI and log are English only, some work should be put in to translate them into various other languages (I say we should start with Spanish as that seems to ripme current largest non-English userbase)

Research direction
Review the current UI code in src/main/java to identify hardcoded strings. Implement Java ResourceBundle for externalizing strings, starting with a base properties file for English and a Spanish locale file. Update all UI components (e.g., labels, buttons) to retrieve strings from the ResourceBundle. For log messages, consider using a logging framework that supports parameterized messages or a similar i18n approach. Explore existing comments in the issue for specific string extraction strategies.
