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.

# Redact PDF {#redact-pdf}
Permanently remove specified text occurrences from a PDF using verified true redaction. The redacted text is completely removed from the file, not just covered with a black box.
## API Endpoint {#api-endpoint}
`POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/redact-pdf`
Accepts multipart form data with a PDF file and a JSON `settings` field.
## Parameters {#parameters}
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| terms | string[] | Yes | - | Text strings to redact (1-50 terms, each up to 200 characters) |
| caseSensitive | boolean | No | `false` | Whether matching is case-sensitive |
## Example Request {#example-request}
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/pdf/redact-pdf \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@contract.pdf" \
-F 'settings={"terms": ["John Doe", "555-0123"], "caseSensitive": false}'
```
## Example Response {#example-response}
```json
{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/contract.pdf",
"originalSize": 245000,
"processedSize": 243000,

}
```
## Notes {#notes}
- Accepted input format: `.pdf`.
- This is a fast (synchronous) tool that returns the result directly.
- This performs true redaction: matched text is removed from the PDF content stream, not merely obscured visually.
- The `found` field in the response indicates how many occurrences were redacted.
- You can redact up to 50 terms in a single request.
