Description
POE is not friendly for beginners. For many players, English is not the main language. It is difficult for them to understand the names of skills, characteristics of things, and so on.
Even the game itself has been translated into several languages.
I know that adding multilingualism is a very complicated and voluminous job.
To support translations, you can use i18n.lua
The translations themselves can be performed jointly on crowdin.com (free for open source)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed i18n.lua library and the existing Lua project structure; no specific files or tests are identified in the issue. Define the scope for translating skill names, item characteristics, and other game text, then assess whether Crowdin can support the translation workflow. Done means the application can provide the described multilingual experience.
