SnapOtterandGitHub 00b651c9f8 feat(i18n): 21-language pipeline, landing/docs/API wiring, landing+API translations
Shared Claude Code translation pipeline (scripts/i18n, no API key) plus Astro/VitePress/Scalar i18n wiring. Landing and API reference translated into all 20 languages; docs i18n wiring + English source anchors. The translated docs markdown (apps/docs/<locale>/**, 3,620 files) follows in a companion PR because it exceeds GitHub's per-PR CI file limit.

# Barcode Generator {#barcode-generator}
Generate barcode images from text input. Supports Code 128, EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 39, ITF-14, and Data Matrix formats.
## API Endpoint {#api-endpoint}
`POST /api/v1/tools/image/barcode-generate`
Accepts an `application/json` body (not multipart). The barcode is generated from the provided text, not from an uploaded file.
## Parameters {#parameters}
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| text | string | Yes | - | Text to encode in the barcode (1-256 characters) |
| type | string | No | `"code128"` | Barcode format: `code128`, `ean13`, `upca`, `code39`, `itf14`, `datamatrix` |
| scale | integer | No | `3` | Image scale factor (1-8) |
| includeText | boolean | No | `true` | Whether to render the text below the barcode |
## Example Request {#example-request}
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/image/barcode-generate \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text": "5901234123457", "type": "ean13", "scale": 4}'
```
## Example Response {#example-response}
```json
{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/barcode.png",
"originalSize": 0,
"processedSize": 4520
}
```
## Notes {#notes}
- Unlike most tools, this endpoint accepts a JSON body, not multipart form data, since barcodes are generated from text rather than an uploaded file.
- EAN-13 requires exactly 12 or 13 digits. UPC-A requires exactly 11 or 12 digits. If a check digit is omitted, it is calculated automatically.
- Code 128 is the most flexible format and supports the full ASCII character set.
- Data Matrix produces a 2D barcode suitable for encoding longer strings in a compact square.
