fix(i18n): localize application workflows

Use stable checklist and interview keys for system copy while preserving user-authored content. Localize creation-tab errors, language selectors, match bands, dates, and selected-CV context.

 - Improved the Job Workspace overview card grid so compact screens use one readable column, tablets use two, and wide screens use five without leaving a cramped orphan card.
 - Moved the remaining shared shell navigation labels into the global locale catalogue so sidebar and mobile-navigation controls announce themselves in the selected language.
 - Localized the application checklist from stable system keys rather than persisted English text. Categories, generated tasks, descriptions, progress, errors, tooltips, and accessible reorder/delete names now switch between English and Bokmål while user-authored task text remains untouched.
+- Localized Cover Letter, CV attachment, application-draft, and Interview Prep failure states and document-language selectors. Interview categories now derive from stable category keys while user-authored questions and answers remain unchanged.
+- Reused the checklist's stable system-key translation mapping for the Overview's recommended next action, preventing the English backend seed text from leaking into a Bokmål workspace.
+- Corrected the CV Match source caption to interpolate the selected CV name once, localized known match bands, and made intelligence/timeline load failures and dates respect the selected UI locale.

 - Full backend: 712/712 tests passed on .NET 9.
 - Next optimized production build and TypeScript: passed after the Job Workspace/checklist batch.
 - Playwright: 8/10 passed on the first complete run; both failures were ambiguous selectors in the newly responsive Career selector, not product failures. Both corrected focused regressions now pass (2/2); final full rerun remains in the end-of-batch gate.
