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.

# PNG Transparency Fixer {#png-transparency-fixer}
Fix fake transparent PNGs in one click. Uses AI matting (BiRefNet HR Matting model) to produce true alpha transparency, with defringe post-processing to clean up edges.
## API Endpoint {#api-endpoint}
`POST /api/v1/tools/image/transparency-fixer`
**Processing:** Asynchronous (returns 202, poll `/api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress` for status via SSE)
**Model bundle:** `background-removal` (4-5 GB)
## Parameters {#parameters}
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| file | file | Yes | - | Image file (multipart) |
| defringe | number | No | `30` | Defringe intensity (0-100). Removes semi-transparent fringe pixels around edges |
| outputFormat | string | No | `"png"` | Output format: `png` or `webp` |
| removeWatermark | boolean | No | `false` | Apply watermark removal pre-processing (median filter) |
## Example Request {#example-request}
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/image/transparency-fixer \
-F "file=@fake-transparent.png" \
-F 'settings={"defringe":40,"outputFormat":"png"}'
```

## Notes {#notes}
- Requires the `background-removal` model bundle to be installed (4-5 GB).
- Uses `birefnet-hr-matting` as the primary model for high-quality alpha matting. Falls back to `birefnet-general` if the HR model runs out of memory.
- The `defringe` option removes semi-transparent fringe pixels that AI matting sometimes leaves around hair, fur, and fine edges. It works by blurring the alpha channel and zeroing out low-confidence pixels.
- The `removeWatermark` option applies a median filter pre-processing step. It is a basic watermark reduction, not a dedicated watermark removal tool.
- Only outputs PNG or lossless WebP (both support alpha transparency).
- Supports HEIC/HEIF, RAW, TGA, PSD, EXR, and HDR input formats via automatic decoding.
