Description
### Describe your improvement idea or feature request
Allow the Taskwarrior Flutter app to automatically follow the device system language by default, with an optional toggle in Settings to manually override the language.
---
## Problem
Currently, the app does not automatically follow the device's system locale.
Most modern mobile applications:
- Use the system language by default
- Allow users to manually override it in settings
Without this behavior:
- The app may not feel native
- International users may experience friction
- Localization support is limited in usability
### How would you like to see it implemented?
## Proposed Solution
### 1. Follow System Locale by Default
If no language is manually selected:
- The app should use the device `Locale`
- If the locale is unsupported, fallback to English
Example:
- Device language: `pa` (Punjabi) → App uses Punjabi (if supported)
- Unsupported language → Fallback to English

### 2. Add “Follow System Language” Toggle
In Settings:

Research direction
Start by tracing the app's current localization entry point and the Settings screen, then inspect how supported locales and the device Locale are handled. Done means the app follows the system language by default, falls back to English when unsupported, and lets users override that choice from Settings.
