[FR] Add support to localization

[RafaelGrochoska]

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

Currently, the app is only available in English. It would be great to add support for multiple languages to make it more accessible to a broader audience.

Describe the solution you'd like

I suggest integrating i18next to add support for multiple languages across the project.

Optionally, it would be great to have an option to set a local currency. With this in place, the app could automatically convert costs, making cost convertion easier.

Thanks for considering these enhancements!

Additional context

With localization support in place, I can contribute by translating the app to Brazilian Portuguese.

Update:

I was taking a look at localization on angular and found out a default package already exists, maybe it can be used instead of my initial suggestion: https://angular.dev/guide/i18n

Never worked with angular before, so I don't know what is the best approach.

Hi 👋,

Good idea 👍! Will work on this asap.

For context about currency (different topic):

Optionally, it would be great to have an option to set a local currency

Local currency can already be set in the settings and overriden per-trip. This is only visual for now.

With this in place, the app could automatically convert costs, making cost convertion easier

Conversions require external libraries since exchange rates can't be inferred without API requests. This adds, for now, unnecessary complexity when manual conversion is straightforward once you know the exchange rate between currencies.

I prefer to focus on maturing the core features first, then add extras like routing or automatic currency conversions in future milestones 👍

I can do the french part as well. It's the only thing preventing my family to use it.

Hi 👋,

FYI: I'm working on the i18n migration. Since I'm learning as I go, it's taking some time and encountering errors along the way, but I'm getting there :). Just to keep everyone updated 👍
