The Discourse Translator plugin currently translates any content to English by default. For example, if there’s a topic written in Japanese, it automatically converts it to English. However, we want to allow users to choose their preferred language, such as Spanish, and have the entire page translated to that language instead.

Example:

1. A user visits a discussion thread on Discourse.
2. The original post is in English, and there are comments in various languages, including Japanese and French.
3. The user prefers to read in Spanish. They select Spanish from a language preference dropdown.
4. The entire page, including the original post and all comments, is translated into Spanish.

any suggestion would be appreciated thank you
