Fixes #3747
Fixes #3485

Issues

1. Hindi (hi) translation did not apply on the homepage while other languages
   (e.g. Bangla bn) worked correctly. (Bug: Hindi translation does not apply on the homepage (works for Bangla and others) #3747)

2. Some text on the p5.js Editor “About” page was not translated when Hindi was
   selected. (Some text on the p5.js Editor “About” page is not translated #3485)

Both issues stemmed from inconsistencies in the Hindi locale setup.

---

Root Cause

• @translations/locales/hi did not follow the same structure as other working locales
• hi used a different format compared to bn
• Duplicate / misplaced Hindi translation files existed
• Because of this mismatch, certain keys were skipped during locale loading,
  affecting both the homepage and the “About” page

---

Approach

• Updated hi to follow the same format as the bn locale file
• Reorganized @translations/locales/hi to match the structure used by other locales
• Removed duplicate and inconsistent Hindi translation files
• Ensured all Hindi translations are loaded from a single, consistent root
• Verified that translations now apply correctly on both the homepage and the
  About page

---

Changes

• Changed hi format to align with the bn locale file
• Fixed directory structure under @translations/locales/hi
• Removed duplicate Hindi translation entries
• Restored missing translations on the “About” page

Pull request overview

This pull request restructures the Hindi translation file to fix issues where Hindi translations were not applying correctly on the homepage and About page. The changes reorganize the JSON structure to match the reference en-US locale format, moving from an inconsistent nested structure to the standard format used by other working locales.

Key changes:

• Restructured the Hindi locale file (translations/locales/hi/translations.json) to match the en-US reference format
• Reordered keys in the Preferences section (moved CustomVersion keys before Addon keys) to match the reference structure
• Updated the Common.Error and Common.ErrorARIA translations from transliteration ("एरर") to proper Hindi word ("ग़लती")

Thanks so much for your work on this!

As noted in the original issue, we will be moving forward with the first open PR to resolve it. I'm sorry that we couldn't get this in—since this PR also seems to address a separate issue regarding missing translations in the about page, I would recommend checking if there is an existing issue on it (and if not, create one), and linking these translations to the other issue in a new PR!
