Translate the UI to Persian

[ebraminio]

It works in a terminal with support of bidi (the screenshot below is from Terminal.app when #72 is applied)

LANG=fa cargo run

I'm aware of #37, this isn't related to editing of RTL documents but just localization for a language with RTL script.

About the translation itself, translation of "Alt", "Ctrl" and "Shift" come from https://persian-computing.org/archives/ISIRI/ISIRI-9147.pdf page 19 (kept untranslated as below)

This translation tries to follow:

• https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:MediaWiki/Basic_glossary/fa
• https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Localisation_guidelines/fa
• "Persian orthography" "دستور خط فارسی" of official Persian language academy https://apll.ir/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/D-1394.pdf

My 2 cents here: I understand that Institute of Standards and Industrial Research translated keys like "Control" to "مهار", but in my personal experience I haven't seen any adaptation of these translations in any Persian app. I'm pretty sure people will be confused of that translation, and the same doc ISIRI-9147.pdf used the word "کنترل" multiple times all over the document. That said, I do believe that "مهار" is a more beautiful word and maybe this is where its adaptation can begin (: The alternative would be to just not translate it and leave it as is, just like how "LF" and "UTF-8" are not translated and remained in English.

Makes sense, just made the Ctrl, Shift and Alt untranslated just like some of the other languages, please review the changes again. Thanks 🙏

Looks good to me. Thank you.

Hi! I've received several PRs for translations since yesterday. As you may have read, a small binary size is an important goal. Long-term this forces me to decide which languages to bundle with the editor. It also shouldn't be such a large number of localizations that maintenance becomes a burden. For instance, I only speak 2 languages, so any strings I add will be translated using LLMs most likely.

But simultaneously, I don't want to reject languages that people are willing to maintain, or those that people are interested in. I think I need a few days to think about this and a bit time to toy around with #165. If you have any input to that issue, please let me know over there. I apologize for the delay but am very grateful that you took your time to do this. 🙂
