Description
__Proposal:__
Hi! Is there any interest in supporting internationalization of the InfluxDB UI? Maybe to add a translation feature to the UI.
__Current behavior:__
Everything is in English, and from my doc searching I do not see any support for internationalization of the InfluxDB UI. I searched on Google and on the InfluxDB docs, granted I acknowledge that I _may_ have missed something if there are docs out there on this.
__Desired behavior:__
I would want a drop down to select a language to view the InfluxDB UI in. I am interested in Chinese support.
__Alternatives considered:__
A project I'm working on could benefit from Chinese support in our UIs. While we do leverage Grafana moreso for our dashboards, it would be nice to have the ability to view the InfluxDB UI in a translated fashion as well. Please note that there is ongoing support and efforts for `i18n` support in Grafana. See the below links:
1. [Grafana issue](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/448)
2. [Merged pull request to add i18n framework](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/41827)
__Use case:__
This is important to better support InfluxDB communities accessibility and UX at a global level.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the InfluxDB UI and reviewing the linked Grafana i18n work; done would require a language selector and translated UI, including Chinese support.
