Internationalization and Localization Class

This class provides a simple translation system with two main functions:

  • set: to define a string and its translation
  • get: to retrieve the translation for a string

The class supports area-specific translations, allowing different translations for the same string in different parts of the application.

example 
// Set translations
Lang::set('Hello', 'Bonjour', 'french');
Lang::set('Hello', 'Hola', 'spanish');

// Get translations
echo Lang::get('Hello', 'french'); // Outputs: Bonjour
echo Lang::get('Hello', 'spanish'); // Outputs: Hola
echo Lang::get('Hello'); // Outputs: Hello (falls back to original if no translation in 'all' area)
