## Description

Currently, the basic and demo data seeds are not (fully) localized, even though we could simply let them be translated by crowdin.

#### Acceptance criteria

  - Seeding of an OpenProject installation's data is supported in all the languages configured on Crowdin.
  - Upon the first configuration of the installation, the `default_language` setting is queried for:
      - packaged installation: part of the wizard (before the seeding)
      - docker: Providable as an environment variable
      - kubernetes: Providable as an environment variable
  - When seeding, the `default_language` determines the locale in which the seeding is carried out.

#### Possibly in scope

  - Creation of SaaS tenants with localized seed data
      - Initial users selects locale as part of the tenant creation process.
      - \[technical\] tenant databases of supported locales are produced and stockpiled and the appropriate database is then assigned based on the locale.

#### Out of scope

  - Changes to the seeded data structure are out of scope. The same data as before will be seeded.
  - Translating text in image attachments.
