The Convert Audio tool promised configurable bitrate, sample rate, and channel count, but only format and bitrate were exposed. Adds an optional sampleRate setting (8000 to 96000 Hz, omitted = preserve source) wired through the Zod schema, the FFmpeg -ar flag, the standalone settings panel, and the pipeline builder controls.
Impossible combinations fail loudly instead of degrading silently: MP3 + 96000 Hz is rejected (libmp3lame caps at 48 kHz), and MP3 bitrates above the encoder ceiling at low rates (64 kbps at 8 kHz, 160 kbps at 16/22.05 kHz) are rejected rather than clamped. The UI offers only legal combinations and sanitizes stored pipeline settings on load.
Docs updated in English plus all 20 localized pages with refreshed i18n_source_hash stamps; two new UI strings added to all 21 locales.
Fixes#558
All 181 docs markdown files translated into 20 languages (apps/docs/<locale>/**). Companion to the i18n code PR; admin-merged because the file count exceeds GitHub's per-PR CI trigger limit. Validated by pnpm i18n:check (all surfaces, 0 stale/missing) and a clean all-locale docs build.
