Description
### Request Overview
Dear CMake Extension Team,
I hope you are doing well.
I would like to kindly request the addition of Arabic language support to the CMake extension. Arabic is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, and providing localization would significantly improve accessibility and usability for Arabic-speaking developers.
Adding Arabic translations to the interface (commands, descriptions, notifications, and settings) would help many students, beginners, and professionals better understand and use the extension effectively.
If the project accepts community contributions for localization, I would be happy to help with translating JSON language files and reviewing terminology to ensure accurate and technically correct Arabic translations.
Thank you for your hard work on this excellent extension and for considering this request.
Best regards,
abdulkafi

Confirm which interface strings are covered and how a new language is registered; done means the Arabic translations are integrated consistently and the extension accepts them without missing entries.
