Alt-tab-macos: Internationalize the app

[lwouis]

The app has text in English for:

• Menubar
• Preferences window
• Feedback window

It would be nice to provide these in other languages. I think a first batch could be done using Google Translate. Maybe some cheap translation service could be used too. The scope is very scope so cost would be marginal.

I started looking into it. I found it very confusing looking online. I learned about the complex history of localization with Apple and XCode.

I want to go with xliff files since they are industry standard.

I checked a few OSS tools to edit xliff. Nothing was great. Weblate seems interesting but is not meant to run locally but to be hosted on some server. The other remarkable player is POEditor. They actually have free plans for OSS! I applied :)

Just received this email:

Congratulations lwouis,

alt-tab-macos has been approved for a free localization project.
Enjoy localizing and don't be shy to spread the word that POEditor supports the open source movement!

Cheers,
The POEditor Team

I'd be more than happy to provide the german localization :)
