feat(i18n): add Spanish language support and per-instance active languages

[thomasbeaudry]

Splits #1434 into three PRs. This is PR 3 of 3 and merges last, per @gdevenyi's request.

Merge order

Order	PR	Branch	Base
1st	#1440 — UX fixes	split/ux	main
2nd	#1439 — mailer	split/mailer	main
3rd	this PR — Spanish + active languages	split/language	split/mailer

Base is split/mailer, not main. GitHub will retarget it to main automatically once #1439 merges. The diff shown here is language-only.

Why this one is stacked rather than independent

Declaring es in LanguageOptions makes es a required key in every t({ ... }) call in apps/web — that's why this PR touches 82 files. Whichever PR lands after that declaration exists must supply Spanish for its own strings.

Since this goes last, it carries the Spanish for the mailer's strings too: 117 of the lines here translate the mail admin page, group email templates, and assignment email form introduced in #1439. That's only possible if those files exist on this branch, hence the stack. The upside of this ordering is that #1439 needs no follow-up patch, and the activeLanguages / ALL_LANGUAGES plumbing is no longer duplicated across two branches — it lives in #1439 and is simply inherited here.

What's here

• es declared in LanguageOptions, and Spanish added to every t({ ... }) call in the app, plus the es keys in apps/web/src/translations/*.json. No new translation keys — the JSON changes are purely es additions.
• An admin Languages card so an instance chooses which languages it offers. The sidebar, navbar, and login language toggles render only active languages and disappear entirely when one language is active.
• The gateway resolves a ?lang query param, which is what makes the assignment links emailed by feat(mail): add outgoing email, group email templates, and assignment emails #1439 open in the participant's language.
• Widening Language with es makes it broader than the instrument runtime's en | fr, so the instrument translation call sites narrow explicitly.

Note on admin/settings.tsx

The autosave refactor + SaveStatus component landed here rather than in the UX PR, because the new Languages card is built on autosave — separating them would have meant inventing a Save-button variant of the card that exists nowhere in #1434.

Verification

tsc and eslint clean for schemas, react-core, web, gateway, api; pnpm test 382 passed / 1 skipped. Merging all three PRs in the order above was rehearsed end to end: zero conflicts, and the assembled tree typechecks, lints, and passes 382 tests. Two redundant type assertions (Navbar, Sidebar) were removed to satisfy no-unnecessary-type-assertion.

This PR should be last in the stack.

Sorry...

[thomasbeaudry]

@gdevenyi You're right that last is mechanically possible — these three branches are independent, each cuts from main, and each compiles standalone. So the stack isn't forced by a build dependency. But I'd argue for first, for two reasons.

1. #1439 emits ?lang= links that only this PR knows how to read.

The mailer builds assignment URLs as:

url: `${assignment.url}?lang=${language}`   // apps/api/src/assignments/assignments.controller.ts

Every ?lang consumer lives in this PR — apps/gateway/src/{Root.tsx,entry-client.tsx,entry-server.tsx,routers/root.router.ts,services/i18n.ts}. #1439 touches no gateway files at all.

If the mailer lands first, that's a window where a participant gets a correctly-translated French email whose link opens the instrument in English, because the gateway drops the param. It's not a build break, so CI won't catch it — it's just quietly wrong for anyone who sends a remote assignment in that window.

2. Going last doesn't avoid the Spanish work, it relocates it into this PR.

Declaring es in LanguageOptions makes es a required key in every t({ ... }) call in apps/web — that's why this PR touches 60 files. The consequence is the same in both orders: whichever of {this, #1439} lands second has to supply Spanish for the other's strings.

• This first: feat(mail): add outgoing email, group email templates, and assignment emails #1439 rebases and applies a 183-line backfill. It's already written and verified to apply cleanly, and the Spanish for the mail UI gets reviewed alongside the mail UI itself.
• This last: the same 183 lines have to move into this PR instead — meaning this stops being a mechanical translation pass over existing code and becomes a PR that also translates the mail UI, which isn't in it. And that patch can't be written until feat(mail): add outgoing email, group email templates, and assignment emails #1439 has actually merged, so the work serializes regardless.

#1440 is genuinely order-independent — it adds zero new t() calls, so nothing in it changes whichever way this goes. Happy to put it anywhere.

I did rehearse the full merge in the order proposed: exactly one conflict (SaveStatus.tsx, add/add with #1439 — take this PR's copy), and the reassembled tree typechecks, lints, and passes 382 tests. If you'd still rather this go last I'll fold the backfill in here instead — it's the same content either way, just a bigger diff on this PR and a ?lang gap in between.

[gdevenyi]

Adding a third language (that none of us reads/writes) is a larger platform discussion than just the technicals.

If there's a technical issue mixed in here (the assignment URLs) split it out.

[thomasbeaudry]

Reordered as you asked — this is now last in the stack, and #1440 (UX, fully independent and the smallest) goes first.

One consequence worth flagging: to go last, this PR had to be stacked on split/mailer rather than sitting beside it. Because declaring es makes it required in every t() call, this PR now also carries the Spanish for the mail UI — 117 of its lines translate the mail admin page, group email templates, and assignment email form from #1439. That's only possible with those files on the branch, so its base is split/mailer; GitHub will retarget it to main once #1439 merges.

Two things improved by your ordering, for what it's worth: #1439 no longer needs a follow-up patch, and the activeLanguages / ALL_LANGUAGES plumbing that was duplicated across both branches now lives in #1439 alone and is inherited here.

The only thing that doesn't get fixed by reordering is the ?lang gap — #1439 emails links with ?lang=, and the gateway code reading it is in this PR, so between those two merges an emailed link opens in the gateway's default language. The email body itself is correctly localized; only the linked page is affected. Noted in #1439's description.

Rehearsed the full order (#1440 → #1439 → #1438): zero conflicts, and the assembled tree typechecks, lints, and passes 382 tests.

This is not done properly. The agent does not understand how libui works. Here are the steps you need to do:

1. Download libui on your machine and make a PR to add optional Spanish support. Also, tell it to document how the translation system works (tell it to refer to that for step 2).
2. Create a new PR that updates libui to this version, and implements the mechanism for Spanish support (do not include any translations. Partial translations are currently accepted.
3. Create a new PR adding the spanish translations (should require no review)
