Research direction

Start by copying src/locales/en.ts to a file named for the language code, then read the existing _meta object and translation strings. Translate the file and set the language name, flag, and LDS Gospel Library code in _meta; the work is done when the new locale file is complete and you have commented on the issue to coordinate it.
