Converts all static string labels, descriptions, and block labels within the Form Builder plugin to use Payload's i18n `t` function. This change allows the plugin's administrative interface to be localized by providing translatable keys. Includes default English and French translation files.

Optionally, one thing you could do to make this complete would be to generate all the translations for the plugin. Our translations use open ai, if you don't have an API key, don't worry about this. To generate the translations you will have to add the plugin to the tools similar to tools/scripts/src/generateTranslations/plugin-multi-tenant.ts and then run pnpm --filter @tools/scripts run generateTranslations:plugin-form-builder.

What?
Adds i18n support to
@payloadcms/plugin-form-builder.This replaces hardcoded admin labels, descriptions, option labels, block labels, and field labels with translation keys under the
plugin-form-buildernamespace. It also adds English and French translation files and exports the plugin translations for external reuse or overrides.Why?
The form builder plugin currently renders many admin UI strings directly in English. This makes the plugin inconsistent with Payload’s i18n support and with other plugins that already expose translated admin labels.
This change allows form builder UI text to be translated based on the active Payload admin language, while still allowing users to override plugin translations through
config.i18n.translations.How?
@payloadcms/translationsas a dependency of@payloadcms/plugin-form-builder.enandfrtranslation objects underpackages/plugin-form-builder/src/translations.plugin-redirects, with user-provided translations taking precedence.t('plugin-form-builder:...').filter(Boolean)field cleanup in the payment block with conditional array spreading so the field array keeps stronger contextual typing and avoids TypeScript losing the expectedFieldshape for nested label functions.formBuilderTranslationsso consumers can inspect or reuse the plugin translation object.Testing
