Phase 1: new bal/i18n.py, BAL's own gettext layer (domain "bal", catalogs read with plugin.read_file()). _() asks Electrum's catalog first, then BAL's, then returns the English source. The Qt plugin loads the catalog of Electrum's GUI language at start-up; the CLI stays English. Phase 2: every user-visible GUI text is now a whole, extractable sentence (Ruff INT rules enabled). Class-level texts are marked with N_() and translated when shown. Stored data stays language-neutral: the status history is written in English and translated for display, the calendar defaults follow the GUI language, and the history label and wallet labels are never translated because BAL uses them to recognise its transactions. No visible change apart from the double colon fixed in the will detail. See CHANGELOG entries 58 and 59 and PLAN_I18N.md.
