Language Refactoring - Quick Reference Card

📋 TL;DR

Refactored wiki language logic from 7 hardcoded lines to 1 function call

The Change

// ❌ OLD: 7 lines, 2 languages
lang := "the same language as the source document"
if kb.WikiConfig.WikiLanguage == "zh" {
    lang = "Chinese (中文)"
} else if kb.WikiConfig.WikiLanguage == "en" {
    lang = "English"
}

// ✅ NEW: 4 lines, 9+ languages
lang := types.LanguageLocaleName(kb.WikiConfig.WikiLanguage)
