[i18n] LANGS = sv-SE, en-US makes Swedish the default language of Forgejo's translation store
(the first entry wins). The store falls back to the default language for any key missing from
the requested locale, so a string that exists in Swedish but not in English would be shown in
Swedish to an English reader — the failure mode is silent in the UI but always logged as
Missing translation "<key>".

This is not firing today: the log store has zero matches over the last 14 days. That makes it a
cheap guard to add before an upgrade introduces one.

Proposal: a log-store alert rule on the Forgejo unit for Missing translation, warning
severity, with a short window. Not urgent, and no configuration change to LANGS is wanted —
Swedish first is deliberate (ADR 0010).

Part of gitborg/gitborg-docs#70.
