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.

# Face Enhancement {#face-enhancement}
Restore and enhance faces in images using AI models (GFPGAN/CodeFormer).
## API Endpoint {#api-endpoint}
`POST /api/v1/tools/image/enhance-faces`
**Processing:** Asynchronous (returns 202, poll `/api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress` for status via SSE)
**Model bundles:** `upscale-enhance` (5-6 GB) and `face-detection` (200-300 MB)
## Parameters {#parameters}
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| file | file | Yes | - | Image file (multipart) |
| model | string | No | `"auto"` | Model to use: `auto`, `gfpgan`, `codeformer` |
| strength | number | No | `0.8` | Enhancement strength (0-1). Higher values produce stronger enhancement |
| onlyCenterFace | boolean | No | `false` | Only enhance the most central/prominent face |
| sensitivity | number | No | `0.5` | Face detection sensitivity (0-1) |
## Example Request {#example-request}
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/image/enhance-faces \
-F "file=@portrait.jpg" \
-F 'settings={"model":"codeformer","strength":0.7,"onlyCenterFace":false}'
```

## Notes {#notes}
- Requires both the `upscale-enhance` model bundle (5-6 GB) and the `face-detection` model bundle (200-300 MB).
- GFPGAN produces more aggressive enhancement; CodeFormer better preserves identity. `auto` selects the best model for the input.
- Output is always PNG format for maximum quality.
- A WebP preview is generated alongside the full-resolution output for faster frontend display.
- The `strength` parameter blends the enhanced face with the original. Use lower values (0.3-0.5) for subtle improvements, higher values (0.7-1.0) for stronger restoration.
- Supports HEIC/HEIF, RAW, TGA, PSD, EXR, and HDR input formats via automatic decoding.
