Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes. The project is growing and already has a few manual localized versions (Chinese, Korean, Japanese). However, managing translations manually through git forks and copies of markdown files creates a lot of friction and potential merge conflicts for the community.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love to see Crowdin integrated into the repository.

Since the project relies heavily on Markdown files, Crowdin can easily split the text into segments. This would allow the community (including the Francophone community and many others) to contribute translations directly through a clean web interface without needing to manually copy files or handle git conflicts. Crowdin can then automatically open Pull Requests to sync the updated localized files back to GitHub.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The alternative is keeping the current workflow (creating manual files like README-fr.md via standard Pull Requests), but it scales poorly as more languages are added and the main English README gets updated.

📖 Additional contex

I would be more than happy to help kickstart and maintain the French translation on Crowdin if you decide to set it up!
