Fix i18n by merging plugin translations and using short locale codes

[Claude]

Description

Fixed internationalization not working in HotCRM. The API was only returning HR translations instead of all plugin translations, and locale codes were using BCP 47 format (zh-CN, ja-JP) instead of the short codes (zh, ja) expected by the runtime.

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

Changes Made

1. Locale Code Normalization

• Changed supportedLocales from ['en', 'zh-CN', 'ja-JP'] to ['en', 'zh', 'ja']
• Renamed translation files: zh-CN.ts → zh.ts, ja-JP.ts → ja.ts across all 6 packages
• Updated translation bundle keys and variable names to use short codes
• Updated all i18n test expectations

2. Translation Bundle Merging

• Added mergeTranslationBundles() helper to deep-merge translations from all plugins
• Previously: 6 separate bundles with same namespace overwrote each other (only HR survived)
• Now: Single merged bundle contains all translations from CRM, Finance, Marketing, Products, Support, and HR

// Before: Array of bundles (overwrites with same namespace)
translations: [
  CrmTranslations,
  FinanceTranslations,
  // ... only last one (HR) was kept
]

// After: Merged single bundle
const HotCRMTranslations = mergeTranslationBundles(
  CrmTranslations, FinanceTranslations, MarketingTranslations,
  ProductsTranslations, SupportTranslations, HRTranslations
);
translations: HotCRMTranslations

3. Files Modified

• objectstack.config.ts: Added merge function, updated i18n config
• api/[[...route]].ts: Same changes for Vercel handler
• All 6 plugin translation files and tests

Testing

• Unit tests pass (npm test)
• Linting passes (npm run lint)
• Build succeeds (npm run build)
• Manual testing completed
• New tests added (if applicable)

Additional Notes

The reference implementation (https://github.com/objectstack-ai/objectui/tree/main/examples/crm) uses short locale codes and a single merged translation object. HotCRM now follows the same pattern. The API endpoint /api/v1/i18n/translations/zh now returns complete translations from all business plugins.
