[Feature Request]: Locale activation via URL parameter

[waldenn]

Problem Description

The locale can not yet be changed using an URL parameter. This prevents me from embedding the chat app in a larger system, which can call the chat app with the right context (language, prompt, etc.).

Solution Description

I would like to embed the chat app in a larger (multi-lingual) application and call the chat app via a language-code (eg. "fr") in its URL. This should then (only?) show the prompts available in that language.

It would also be great to be able to select the active prompt (and optional user prompt) from the URL.

Feature added in 2a1eaba.

Now, you can use lang=fr query string in URL to specify UI language. Check https://github.com/mlc-ai/web-llm-chat/blob/main/app/locales/index.ts#L25 for all available language options.

Note that language translations are currently not 100% covered. Please feel free to contribute to translation strings if you find any missing ones!

Fanstastic! Thanks! Will look into the locales, once I have a laptop with WebGPU support.
