Description

Any plans to tokenize the editor's controls text & titles so they could be localized for other languages? This would be a big help as I currently have to do some fun DOM manipulation after render to rewrite english strings :P Thanks!

Research direction
Examine the JSONEditor source code to identify all hardcoded English strings in UI components. Check if any existing i18n library is used. Propose a plan to extract strings into a locale file and update components to use a translation function. Review the comments on this issue for previous suggestions. There is no linked PR or assignee, so the issue is open for implementation.
