Describe the feature you'd like

I would like to request internationalization (i18n) support for the Blockscout frontend.

At the moment, the frontend is mainly English-only. Since many Blockscout instances are used by global and local communities, multi-language support would make the explorer much more accessible and easier to adopt for non-English-speaking users.

Describe why this feature is important

This would help in several ways:

improve accessibility for users from different regions

make Blockscout more suitable for community-operated and localized explorers

allow ecosystem teams to provide a better user experience for local users

make it easier for contributors to add and maintain translations without changing core frontend logic

Proposed solution

A practical first step could be:

introduce an i18n framework for frontend text

extract hardcoded UI strings into translation files

support locale switching in the UI, or allow instance-level default locale configuration

use English as the fallback language when translations are incomplete

Additional context

A good initial language set could include:

English

Chinese

Spanish

Russian

Turkish

Vietnamese

I’d be happy to help with this effort. I can start by contributing a Chinese translation PR and also help with testing if the maintainers think this feature would be useful.

Thanks for considering this feature request.
