Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
I’m integrating Web Chat into an Icelandic-language site and would love to simply set:
<ReactWebChat locale="is-IS" … />
and have every UI string—placeholders, timestamps, buttons, labels, menus, and system messages—automatically rendered in Icelandic. I’ve noticed that many other locales enjoy this out-of-the-box support, but Icelandic still falls back to English.
Describe the suggestion or request in detail
It would be fantastic if the SDK included a complete set of Icelandic translations so that locale="is-IS" switches the entire experience to Icelandic without any manual overrides.
Describe alternatives you have considered
I have thought about overwriting the html but I'd rather not
Additional context
hank you for considering this enhancement!

Research direction
Start at the ReactWebChat locale prop and compare how an existing supported locale is wired through the Web Chat UI. Identify the translation resources and checks used for placeholders, timestamps, buttons, labels, menus, and system messages. Done means locale="is-IS" renders the complete experience in Icelandic without manual overrides.
