To create a version in a different language:

• Update the title, the description, and the "You need to enable JavaScript" message in public/index.html
• Update the language attribute in the HTML tag in public/index.html
• Update the name and short name in public/manifest.json
• Update the strings in src/constants/strings.ts
• Add all of the five letter words in the language to src/constants/validGuesses.ts, replacing the English words
• Add a list of goal words in the language to src/constants/wordlist.ts, replacing the English words
• Update the "About" modal in src/components/modals/AboutModel.tsx
• Update the "Info" modal in src/components/modals/InfoModal.tsx
• If the language has letters that are not present in English, add them to the CharValue type in src/lib/statuses.ts and update the keyboard in src/components/keyboard/Keyboard.tsx
• If the language's letters are made of multiple unicode characters, use a grapheme splitter at various points throughout the app or normalize the input so that all of the letters are made of a single character
• If the language is written right-to-left, add dir="rtl" to the HTML tag in public/index.html and prepend \u202E (the unicode right-to-left override character) to the return statement of the inner function in generateEmojiGrid in src/lib/share.ts
