TL;DR

20 commits, ~110 files changed (~52 K insertions / ~48 K deletions — most deletions
are legacy per-locale index.html files being regenerated from the new catalog).

• Full visual + content redesign of the homepage.
• New locales/<lang>.json catalog driving 35 locales (237 keys each).
• tools/sync-locales.mjs rewritten to merge the catalog into each
  <lang>/index.html after the existing path/canonical rewrites.
• Source index.html marked up with data-i18n / data-i18n-attr attributes.
• RTL (ar, fa) handled via the existing dir="rtl" rewrite.
• pt-BR browsers now correctly route to /pt-br/ instead of /pt/.

How the i18n system works

Source HTML carries stable IDs on translatable elements:

<h1><span class="accent" data-i18n="hero.title">Engineered for continuous operation.</span></h1>
<meta name="description" content="DigiByte is …" data-i18n-attr="content:meta.description">

Per-locale JSON catalog:

{
  "hero.title": "止まらない稼働のために設計。",
  "meta.description": "DigiByteは…"
}

tools/sync-locales.mjs produces every <lang>/index.html from the source plus the
catalog. Missing keys fall back to English. Inline markup inside catalog values
(<strong>, <em>, <a>) is preserved verbatim because catalog content is trusted
in-repo data.

Translation quality — honest caveat

The 35 catalogs were seeded with machine-translated values validated for
key-parity. They render naturally enough to ship, but native-speaker polish is
strongly recommended — strongest today in es / de / fr / it / pt / nl / pl / ru / ja / zh, weakest in th / hi / fil / sw / sq / af.

Refining a locale is now a one-file PR (edit locales/<lang>.json, run
node tools/sync-locales.mjs, commit both the catalog and the regenerated
<lang>/index.html).

How to verify

• Open https://dg-bio.vercel.app on desktop + mobile.
• Spot-check at least one RTL locale (/ar/ or /fa/).
• Spot-check at least one CJK locale (/ja/ or /zh/).
• node tools/sync-locales.mjs --check returns clean.
• All language-picker entries navigate to a working translated page.

Out of scope (intentional)

• Per-locale native-speaker copy polish (follow-up PRs from volunteers).
• Migration to a build-time templating engine (current model — edit source, run
  script, commit synced files — is sufficient).

Happy to split this PR into smaller chunks (e.g. design vs i18n vs catalog seeding) if
that helps review. Closes #165 once merged.

Thanks for the QA pass @ycagel — addressed all three factual points in commits pushed to this PR:

Issue	Fix	Commit
Premine showed 0%	Changed to 0.5%, updated subtitle to "fair launch · giveaways & dev" (matches roadmap copy and wiki)	85a6f96
Block reward showed ~466	Changed to ~259 — verified from live coinbase at chain tip via digiexplorer.info (25,931,368,854 sats = 259.31368854 DGB at block 23,722,557)	85a6f96
HALVING / ~1y / monthly reduction was misleading — DigiByte has no halving	Renamed the stat to EMISSION, value −1%/mo, subtitle "continuous, no halving". Also renamed the i18n key from tokenomics.halving.* to tokenomics.emission.* so future translators don't reintroduce the misnomer. All 35 locale catalogs updated.	8b8afde
