Adding language support

Adding a new language is fairly simple.

1. Duplicate the language file src/i18n/en-us.js and rename it to the relevant language code.
2. Translate all the strings in that duplicated file. Take note that capitalization matters.
   • The translated string must go in-between the quotes ("")
     • E.G all: "ALL" -> all: "ВСЕ"
   • If possible try and stick to the general string formatting already present.
     • E.G if there is a new line then try and keep that in your translation.
     • The same goes for the pipe character |. DO NOT REMOVE IT.
   • Please don't translate strings inside {} brackets. They are meant as placeholders for other values.
     • Some examples include {type} and {count}.
     • E.G if you have a string A {index} then you may translate it as B {index} or {index} B depending on how the string makes sense in your language. You are allowed to reposition the placeholders for the string to make sense BUT DO NOT DELETE OR REPLACE THE PLACEHOLDERS WITH OTHER VALUES
3. Add the language to the languages array in src/i18n/index.js. The flag property is the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code of a country.
   • NOTE: DO NOT ADD THE LANGUAGE TO export default. Dynamic language loading is handled by the application.
4. Add your language locale to Vue Timeago. Add it in src/plugins/timeago.js under locales.
