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.

# Silence Removal {#silence-removal}
Detect and remove silent sections from an audio file based on a configurable threshold and minimum duration.
## API Endpoint {#api-endpoint}
`POST /api/v1/tools/audio/silence-removal`
Accepts multipart form data with an audio file and a JSON `settings` field.
## Parameters {#parameters}
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| thresholdDb | number | No | `-50` | Silence threshold in dB (-80 to -20). Audio below this level is considered silent. |
| minSilenceS | number | No | `0.5` | Minimum silence duration in seconds to remove (0.1 to 5) |
## Example Request {#example-request}
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/audio/silence-removal \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@audio.mp3" \
-F 'settings={"thresholdDb": -45, "minSilenceS": 1}'
```
## Example Response {#example-response}
```json
{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/audio.mp3",
"originalSize": 4500000,
"processedSize": 3200000
}
```
## Notes {#notes}
- A higher (less negative) threshold is more aggressive and removes quieter passages as well as true silence.
- Increase `minSilenceS` to only strip longer pauses while keeping short natural gaps.
- Useful for cleaning up podcast recordings, lectures, and voice memos.
- Output usually keeps the input container. AAC input is written as M4A, and unsupported decode-only inputs fall back to MP3.
