Input HelperText i18n translation

[papppeter]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to add translated helper texts to inputs.

For now i need to add manually a translation key to every input

I would like to fill in i18nProvider all the helper text which i need without touching the forms itself

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a similar solution to fields translations. If a translation exists than helper text will be displayed.

resources.[resource_name].fieldHelperTexts.[field name]

or

resources.[resource_name].fields.[field name] = {label: "Field Label", helperText: "hint"}
shorthand would be the original version. not an object but string.

Thank you for your suggestion!

FYI, helperText actually already supports i18n keys, although I realize this is documented nowhere! 😅

react-admin/packages/ra-ui-materialui/src/input/InputHelperText.tsx

Line 22 in 91f4f90

return <>{translate(helperText, { _: helperText })}</>;

On the other hand providing a default translation key is an idea to consider.
I'll keep this issue open as enhancement idea to see if it gains some traction.
You may also work on a PR implementing that feature if you want.
However I'd rather use the following key to be more consistent with the rest of the code: resources.${resource}.fields.${source}.helperText.

Thanks for the quick response!

Extending docs is good starting point!
