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.

{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/report.txt",

```
## Notes {#notes}
- Accepted input format: `.pdf`.
- This is a fast (synchronous) tool that returns the result directly.
- The `chars` field in the response indicates the number of characters extracted.
- Only digitally embedded text is extracted. For scanned documents or image-based PDFs, use the [PDF OCR](./ocr-pdf) tool instead.
