 * i18next is a localization library for maintaining and using translation resources.
 * 
 * Q: How do I add a new language?
 * A: To add a new language, create a new folder in the locales directory with the language code.
 *    Each language folder should contain a file for each namespace (ex. menu.ts) with the translations.
 * 
 * Q: How do I add a new namespace?
