Document the nine languages, and what Beta means on them
The translations shipped today and the docs still said "no languages but English". They also need to say the harder thing, which is that eight of the nine have never been read by anybody who speaks them. - README gains the language list, with the Beta caveat in the same line rather than a footnote. - FEATURES.md gains an Interface language section: the list, why it is a separate setting from the date locale, and the two design properties that follow — a missing entry renders English, and plurals are asked of Intl.PluralRules rather than assumed, which is why Russian carries three forms and Japanese one. - ROADMAP.md no longer lists translations as "not yet". What replaces it is the half that is genuinely not done: a translation anybody has checked. RTL is split out as its own entry, because holding Arabic, Hebrew and Persian back is a layout decision and not a queue position. - KNOWN-ISSUES.md gains two entries. The unread catalogues, which is the one thing on that page that cannot be closed by testing. And the coverage number that read 100% while two hundred strings rendered English in every language — recorded as a general lesson rather than an i18n one, since a coverage number measures what it can see and the rest is exactly what nobody is checking.
