Internationalization
Add support for internationalization, i.e. translation and formatting of times/dates, numbers, etc.
Users should be able to set language and timezone (attributes of User) and browser settings (navigator.language, Intl.DateTimeFormat.resolvedOptions.timeZone) should only be used as suggestions / default values.
i18n toolchain:
- Server: Tornado's built-in i18n (gettext)
- Client: i18next (JSON)
- Translation platform: Transifex
