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.

# Convert Video {#convert-video}
Convert videos between MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, and MKV formats with configurable quality presets.
## API Endpoint {#api-endpoint}
`POST /api/v1/tools/video/convert-video`
Accepts multipart form data with a video file and a JSON `settings` field. This is an async endpoint - it returns `202 Accepted` immediately and progress is streamed via SSE at `GET /api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress`.
## Parameters {#parameters}
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| format | string | No | `"mp4"` | Output format: `mp4`, `mov`, `webm`, `avi`, `mkv` |
| quality | string | No | `"balanced"` | Quality preset: `high`, `balanced`, `small` |
## Example Request {#example-request}
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/video/convert-video \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@clip.mp4" \
-F 'settings={"format": "webm", "quality": "balanced"}'
```
## Example Response {#example-response}
```json
{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"async": true
}
```
## Notes {#notes}
- The `high` quality preset produces the best visual fidelity but larger files. The `small` preset aggressively compresses for minimum file size.
- WebM output uses VP9 encoding. MP4 and MOV use H.264. AVI and MKV are available for legacy or archival workflows.
- Progress updates are available via SSE at `GET /api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress` until the job completes.
