Description

Hi there,

I've just played around with paperless for the first time, and it looks like a promising project. One thing I'd like to see in the future would be a translated/translatable interface, with community-driven translations.

Research direction
This is a feature request to add internationalization support to the paperless interface. The issue does not contain implementation details. To begin, investigate the current frontend setup (likely Django templates) and Django's internationalization framework (i18n) using gettext. Consider reviewing the project's existing views and templates to understand how strings are rendered. Start by enabling i18n in settings and marking strings for translation. There are no linked PRs or comments with additional guidance.
