Add Malayalam Language Support for Translation and TTS

[AshtamiBiju]

Hi team 👋,
I'm a contributor for GSSoC 2025, and I recently came across KrishiMitra — I really love the idea of making agriculture more accessible through tech, especially for rural communities. One thing I noticed is that while you support several Indian languages, Malayalam isn't included yet. I'd love to contribute by adding Malayalam language support, both for translations and for the text-to-speech (TTS) functionality using gTTS.

##Why Malayalam?

Kerala has a huge farming population, and Malayalam is their primary language. Adding this would:

• Help reach more farmers in Kerala
• Make the app more inclusive and accessible
• Support low-literacy users by reading messages aloud in Malayalam

What I'd Like to Do:

• Add Malayalam translations for core UI messages and agricultural terms
• Enable TTS in Malayalam using gTTS (which supports lang='ml')
• Update the language selector to include "മലയാളം"
• Test the UI and TTS to make sure everything works smoothly

Let me know if this feature is aligned with your roadmap — I'd love to start working on it!
