Multilingualization of the user manual

Why & What

There is no doubt that the Hydra Head Protocol is a Cardano Blockchain Layer 2 solution that many developers will need.
However, in order for more people around the world to build the Hydra Head Protocol, a shortcut is to make it available in multiple languages. Especially for those who are not fluent in English, English documentation is a hurdle that will slow down the deployment of Hydra.

However, it is difficult to support many languages with a limited number of people.

The https://hydra.family/ documentation is built on the Docusaurus base, which allows for i18n markdown translation.

For this reason, it is possible to seek localization cooperation from the community.

I am Japanese and can translate it into Japanese.

@btbf thanks for reaching out and, I definitely support your initiative! if you can work on the translation, I (or we) will make sure to rework the doc sources to work with i18n and make adding new translations easy; shouldn't be too hard with Docusaurus indeed.

[KtorZ]

On a second note: we'll have to think about how to keep the translations in-sync. Given that the project is still under heavy development, we add and change documentation quite a lot.

@KtorZ I would be delighted to help you with the project.
Would you like to start with Japanese to build a foundation to begin with?
I am currently available to work full time on Cardano and can add or change documentation as needed.

@btbf Thank you so much for your contribution, that's a great idea! I wish we find the time with @KtorZ to provide a French version :)

@btbf in case you missed it, we have a translatable documentation / user manual / website now and are happy to accept any translation contributions :)
