Ability to create Language Packages for Replit

In some way language packages are an extension, just like in VSCode!

Describe your feature request
I’d like to see a feature in extensions in which users can translate different elements of the Replit IDE. For example, some of the things translated could be :

  • Publishing button
  • Input placeholders

And many other things.

What problem(s) would this feature solve?
This feature would solve problems as :

  • People not understanding IDE elements
  • Replit would not have to pay for translators

Explain what you were trying to do when you came across the problem leading to this feature request
I saw a friend struggling to understand some of the elements in the IDE since he had a basic understanding of English and only knew how to talk in Spanish.

I think this would be a great feature that would expand Replit, I’d love to do the Spanish package!

Extensions have limited functionality and access only certain functions of the Workspace so unfortunately this won’t be possible.

The closest thing possible would be an Extension that taught users about Replit in another language.
