What does this PR do?

Adds Chinese (Simplified) translation for the EmDash admin UI. This enables Chinese-speaking users to use the admin interface in their native language.

Changes included:

  • Add "zh-CN" to lingui.config.ts locales array
  • Register { code: "zh-CN", label: "简体中文" } in the admin SUPPORTED_LOCALES
  • Add initial messages.po with 36 translated messages at packages/admin/src/locales/zh-CN/messages.po
  • Translate all admin UI strings including login page, settings page, and locale switching interface
  • Preserve all placeholders ({email}, {label}, {error}) and Lingui component markers (<0>...</0>)

Translation coverage:

  • Login page (magic link authentication, passkey, email sign-in)
  • Settings page (general, security, SEO, API tokens, language preferences)
  • Locale switching interface (language selector, translation status indicators)

Resolving conflict issues #455

Enable the zh-CN locale across the admin UI: add "zh-CN" to lingui.config.ts locales, register { code: "zh-CN", label: "简体中文" } in the admin SUPPORTED_LOCALES, and add the initial messages.po with Simplified Chinese translations at packages/admin/src/locales/zh-CN/messages.po. This provides localized strings for the admin interface.
