Description

#134 has removed the i18n translation support in python-scraperlib because it was relying too much on system dependencies (not working on Windows for instance) and API was not mature enough (see https://github.com/openzim/overview/issues/29).

Once we've gained sufficient experience with i18n translation, we need to restore the support of it in python-scraperlib.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #134 to understand what was removed and overview issue #29 for the API concerns. Then inspect the current python-scraperlib entry points related to translation and assess dependency and Windows constraints. Done means agreeing on a mature, portable i18n approach and restoring documented support.
